As such, the coach from La Rioja equals the feat of the unforgettable World Cup in South Africa, in which Spain, after losing to Switzerland in the opener, stringed together half a dozen victories against Honduras, Chile, Portugal, Paraguay, Germany and in extra time against the Netherlands to win their World Cup winners’ star.

Spain are the only team to have won all their matches at this year's continental finals and would beat their best-ever run at a finals if they win next Sunday's final on 14 July at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
