Fabian Ruiz, Spain’s almost never-beaten talisman | OneFootball

L'Équipe highlights a striking pattern around Fabian Ruiz for Spain. The PSG midfielder has yet to lose in regulation in any match he has played, and he won his 49th cap in Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final against France.

His only defeat while on the pitch was the 2025 Nations League final against Portugal, which ended 2-2 before a 3-5 shootout loss. Luis de la Fuente started him and he was substituted on 75 minutes.

Across his Spain outings, the team have 36 wins and 11 draws whenever he has featured.

That record offers encouragement before the World Cup final on Sunday at 21:00.

Spain will face England or Argentina.
