In this special episode of Football For Kids, Darren tells the incredible story of Spain’s record-breaking 38-match unbeaten run, their victory at EURO 2024 and their unforgettable triumph at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The adventure begins with a defeat against Colombia at the London Stadium before Spain transform into the Invincibles of international football. Discover how manager Luis de la Fuente combined Spain’s famous passing style with speed, bravery, pressing and explosive wing play.

You will also hear how goalkeeper Unai Simón, teenage defender Pau Cubarsí and Spain’s brilliant defence helped create one of the greatest unbeaten runs in men’s international football history.

From Brazil and Germany to France, England, Portugal and Argentina, this is the story of 38 matches, 29 victories, nine draws and one extraordinary team that refused to fall.

What happens when the final whistle blows, the dream disappears and anger takes over?

After some Argentina players reacted appallingly following defeat to Spain, this special Football For Kids episode looks at the part of the game that matters far more than any trophy: how you behave when you lose.

Darren explains why feeling angry, upset or heartbroken is completely normal, but hurting somebody never is. This is an emotional and important lesson about sportsmanship, self-control and choosing what kind of player, and person, you want to become.
