✅️ Pedri, one of the best midfielders in the world and arguably Barcelona’s best midfielder in La Liga, was benched against Belgium, and his replacement, Fabián Ruiz, scored Spain’s opening goal. 😲🔥
✅️ David Raya, arguably the Premier League’s best goalkeeper at the moment, hasn’t played a single minute for Spain, yet they’re already in the World Cup semi-finals. 🔥😲
✅️ Ferran Torres, who scored 14 La Liga goals last season and helped Barcelona win the league title, is being kept out of the starting XI by Mikel Oyarzabal.
✅️ We haven’t even talked about Mikel Merino’s quality coming off the bench. 🔥👏
✅️ We also haven’t mentioned Gavi and Martín Zubimendi, two outstanding midfielders who can’t even get any minutes. 🔥😅
✅️ We don’t even know who Spain’s second-choice goalkeeper is between Joan García of Barcelona and David Raya of Arsenal.
✅️ And then there’s Nico Williams, a player of immense quality, who only played 10 minutes against Belgium. 😅🔥
Man, this has to be the strongest squad in the tournament. It’s not that Spain’s bench is better than the starting XI; it’s that Luis de la Fuente selects players based on the opponent and the tactical plan for each match. 🔥😲❤️👏
The only area where France may have the edge over Spain is in attack. 🔥🇫🇷
The scary thing about Spain is that when they need a goal, they don’t always bring on strikers, they bring on midfielders, and the rest is history. 😲🔥
The Spain vs France semi-final has all the ingredients to be the match of the tournament, and whoever wins it will have the best chance of lifting the World Cup. 🏆🇫🇷🇪🇸🔥
