Spain Latest News and Transfer Rumours

Football in Spain is currently enjoying the most productive period in its history, with international teams at all levels regularly winning tournaments while their clubs dominate European competition. For many years Spain were a nation with talented players who regularly underachieved, particularly around the turn of the millennium when stars such as Raul Gonzalez, Fernando Hierro and Pep Guardiola were unable to go deep into a competition, exiting World Cup 1998 at the group stages before succumbing to France at Euro 2000 and, controversially, to South Korea in 2002. But with the emergence of a top-class range of stars from Barcelona that included Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique, coupled with already established players such as Iker Casillas, Xabi Alonso, David Villa and Fernando Torres, Spain proved themselves to be the best team in Europe in 2008, before conquering the world with victory in South Africa in 2010, defeating the Netherlands in the final. Clinching Euro 2012 solidifed their position as one of the greatest international sides of all time. At club level, Real Madrid and Barcelona have formed a duopoly of sorts, though one interrupted by Atletico Madrid. Since 2006, Barcelona and Real Madrid have won the Champions League four and three times respectively, while in the Europa League Sevilla emerged triumphant in three consecutive seasons. The modern era will be remembered from the style of play and unparalleled achievements of the Iberian nation.
