Spain finally announce World Cup arrival as Yamal, Oyarzabal star in Saudi win

Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal were the stars of the show as Spain finally announced their arrival at the 2026 World Cup with a 4-0 thrashing of Saudi Arabia. The pressure was immense on La Roja to produce not only a win, but a performance after a dismal goalless draw against Cape Verde in their Group H opener on Monday.

It was one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history - but Spain hit back at any critics with a classic showing of quick passing, attacking football and lots of goals.
