Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal will have the chance to extend his remarkable record in major finals when La Roja face Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The Real Sociedad captain has scored in each of his six senior finals, including decisive strikes in the Copa del Rey, UEFA Nations League, UEFA Euro 2024 final, and Spain’s World Cup semi-final victory over France, underlining his reputation as a player who thrives on football’s biggest stages.
Oyarzabal heads into the final in impressive form after scoring five goals during the tournament, equalling Spain’s record for the most goals by a player in a single FIFA World Cup. His latest goal came from the penalty spot in Spain’s 2-0 semi-final win over France, helping secure the nation’s first World Cup final appearance since 2010.
Spain will now take on defending champions Argentina in what promises to be a blockbuster final. With Lionel Messi chasing another World Cup triumph and Oyarzabal looking to continue his extraordinary scoring streak in finals, the clash is expected to be one of the tournament’s defining moments.
