According to Sport, Spanish forward Mikel Oyarzabal is in unstoppable form right now. He scored another goal in the World Cup warm-up match against Peru, netting in six consecutive national team appearances and ranking fourth on Spain’s all-time list for consecutive scoring games. Since late 2024, he has registered 13 goals and 6 assists in 13 caps for Spain, boasting outstanding attacking efficiency.
Back at Euro 2024, Oyarzabal came off the bench to help Spain lift the European trophy. With Álvaro Morata stepping back from international football, Oyarzabal has secured a regular starting spot and is widely viewed as the perfect successor to Morata up front. At club level, he claimed the Copa del Rey title with Real
Sociedad, notching 18 goals and 4 assists in a single campaign. Thanks to his brilliant run of form, head coach de la Fuente is highly likely to name him in the starting lineup for Spain’s opening World Cup fixture.
