## Resource

Spain’s World Cup hopes are soaring, fueled by a star-studded squad, a winning mentality from Euro 2024, and a manager who knows how to get the best out of his players—but fitness and form could be their biggest hurdles. Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old sensation, is a game-changer but sidelined by injury, while Nico Williams and Víctor Muñoz race to be fit for the opener. Defensively, veteran Aymeric Laporte faces stiff competition from rising talents, and the goalkeeper spot is wide open. Mikel Oyarzabal, Spain’s quiet hero, is stepping up as the go-to striker with 25 goals in 53 caps. But the real test? Breaking a 14-year World Cup curse—Spain hasn’t won a knockout match since 2010, and the pressure to finally deliver is immense.
