greatest team ever? no
greatest international team ever? also no
Ayden Sullivan
Yes. Winning a Euros-WC-Euros in modern football is an impressive exploit. Their closest competitors during this period, like Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, were nowhere close. Nobody could attack against that team. Spain's decline (they might come back if not already tho) is coincident with this generation aging and starting to be washed up. If not the all time greatest, it is at least the greatest team I've seen since WC 2006 the year I started watching football.

Certainly the most dominant international team I've ever seen
France nowadays or France in the late 90s and Brazil from 2002-2006 never looked nearly as unbeatable as these 80% possession and 1-0 win bores
Frustrating to watch but also felt unbeatable in a way no international team has ever felt. They were not better than Pep's Barca though
Brandon Hall
btw, this was peak Spain, winning a Euro against Italy 4-0 without a striker.
four defenders and six midfields
Aiden Green
Barcelona was literally this team + messi + refball
Nathaniel Baker
>you know remember Ramos as right back

unbeatable until people figured out how to beat them? people forget brazil raped them in the 2013 confed cup and netherlands raped them in the 2014 world cup, that wasn't because they were old, in fact it was only a year after this
