Spain has had a plethora of top players in the last 15 years which has enabled them to win both the World Cup and Euros. The famous Spanish sides of 2008, 2010 and 2012 were brimming with world class players in every position and they haven’t stopped producing talents. After producing the likes of Iker.Xavi,Iniesta,Puyol,Pique,Villa,Ramos, Xabi Alonso,Buesqets,Senna,Silva etc Spain has been continuously producing a crop of top players.Today the Spanish squad has Ramos,Buesqets,Silva and Alba remaining from the old guards and they are supported by a group of players in their prime like Carvajal, Isco,Thiago,Costa,Rodrigo,Alonso,Azpulicueta,Koke,De Gea,Nacho,Gaya etc and supported by upcoming (and already established in some cases) huge talents like Asensio,Saul,Odriozola,Ceballos and Co. The Spanish teams from 08,10 and 12 had Barcelona forming the core but now the role has reversed with Real Madrid forming the core with as many as six Real players playing in their recent 6-0 thumping of the World Cup finalists Croatia. But the one name which is shining bright is the boy from Palma, Marco Asensio, being touted as the golden boy of Spanish football.
