Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal has once again proven why he remains one of his nation’s most reliable goal scorers on the international stage.

The Real Sociedad star entered the 2026 FIFA World Cup carrying a reputation for thriving in high-pressure matches, and he has continued to live up to that billing.

Oyarzabal had already secured his place in Spanish football folklore by netting the decisive goal in the Euro 2024 final and adding another crucial strike in the 2025 Nations League final.

Building on that momentum, the 29-year-old attacker has enjoyed a strong start at the 2026 World Cup, contributing two goals and an assist during the group phase.

His fine form carried into the knockout rounds, as Oyarzabal opened the scoring against Austria in the round of 32, once again demonstrating his sharp finishing instincts inside the box.

That goal not only put Spain in control of the contest but also extended Oyarzabal’s extraordinary scoring record for the national team in recent years.

With La Roja aiming for another deep run in the tournament, Oyarzabal’s consistency and composure in front of goal could prove vital to Spain’s World Cup ambitions.
