The Spanish national team continues to prove its status as one of the main favorites for the upcoming World Cup, dominating in a friendly match against Serbia.
Details: The first half's main protagonist was Mikel Oyarzabal, who delivered a stunning brace before the halftime whistle. Thanks to his clinical finishing, Luis de la Fuente's men went into the break with a commanding 2-0 lead, fully controlling proceedings at the stadium in Villarreal.
These two goals not only demoralized the Serbian defense but also officially propelled Oyarzabal into Spain’s top 9 all-time scorers, moving him ahead of the legendary Alfredo Di Stéfano.
Mikel's recent form for the national team is nothing short of intimidating for opponents. In just his last eight appearances, he has racked up 9 goals and 6 assists. That combined tally of 15 goal involvements makes him the most valuable player under Luis de la Fuente's management.
Reminder: The head of CONMEBOL claims that Argentina won the Finalissima without a fight.
