WHY ARE SPAIN’S TEAMS DOMINATING FOOTBALL?
Spain won the men's European Championship this summer after the women's team won the World Cup
the year before
The men's national team beat England to be crowned European champions this summer while the
women's team won the World Cup last year.

, They also hold the two biggest titles in European club football, with Real Madrid and Barcelona winning
last season's men's and women's Champions League respectively.
And they have now added an Olympic gold medal to their list of achievements, with the men's team
beating France in Paris on Friday.
It is a hugely impressive list of achievements - and perhaps worrying for rival countries given the success
has come despite a chaotic backdrop as a result of the sexism scandal that overshadowed the women's
World Cup win.
So how have Spain become such a dominant force?
Normalising the feeling of winning at all levels
Spain's victory at this summer's European Championship was their first Euros title since 2012. In fact, the
national team had experienced a relatively lean period in the years between the wins.
But when Spain do reach the business end of tournaments, they generally come out on top - as one
incredible statistic highlights.
Whether in World Cups, European Championships, the Champions League or the UEFA Cup/Europa
League, in the past 27 men's finals involving Spanish teams, all 27 resulted in wins for Spain.
Meanwhile, the women's game in Spain has thrived in the last decade and is also starting to reel in big
successes in the high-pressure games.
