THE RECORD OF FABIAN RUIZ
Fabián Ruiz: most capped unbeaten NT player
Fabián Ruiz remains undefeated in his career in the Spanish national team. Having made his debut in 2019, the PSG midfielder hasn’t lost a single one of his 35 matches so far (25 wins, 10 draws).
Among the players who were or are undefeated throughout the career with any national team in the world, he has the most caps.
Of course, he will lose his record holder status as soon as he suffers his first defeat. Maybe it will happen very soon in the forthcoming Nations League away quarter-final vs Netherlands.
In the meantime, Ruiz has had amazing luck: within his international career, Spain have lost 7 times, but in each one of those occasions, he didn’t take part.
Here is a ranking of Spanish players who avoided defeat while playing for the national team. Besides Ruiz, there is another active player here, Robin Le Normand (19 games).
Notably, Fabian Ruiz is keeping on another outstanding streak, at club level. He is unbeaten with PSG in 48 matches in a row in the French league, having equalled the league’s record in the last round.
