Spain have won again. This time it was 2-0 against the Czech Republic in Prague, with goals from two Atlético de Madrid players, Álex Baena (from the penalty spot) and Marc Pubill. Grimaldo and Barrios did not get any minutes.
Luis De La Fuente's side keep on breaking records. This time they once again won with authority in Prague, beating the Czech Republic 2-0 with goals from two Atleti players: Baena and Pubill. The other two Atlético players in the squad, Pablo Barrios and Grimaldo, did not get any minutes. Spain's next Nations League match will be played at none other than Atlético de Madrid's home ground, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
The Roquetas de Mar native put Spain ahead from the penalty spot, while 'Markus' went on to score the second goal of the game in stoppage time, joining the attack like an extra striker and finishing with class one-on-one against the Czech goalkeeper.
With this win, Spain extend their double world record. According to figures from fellow journalist 'Mister Chip' of the radio station 'Onda Cero', Spain have gone more consecutive matches unbeaten than anyone in history: 43. On top of that, they hold the record for the most consecutive official matches without defeat, having now strung together 44 games unbeaten.
