Left Striker: Fernando Torres
Trending
The first striker position and none other than Fernando Torres lines up for this team. Even though the forward has been in indifferent form for the past few years, when it comes to performing for the national side, he is always back to his breathtaking best. Having represented La Roja since 2003, the Spaniard has amassed 107 caps, winning two European Championships and the FIFA World Cup as well.
The importance of the 32-year-old can never be understated as he scored the only goal in the final of the 2008 final to win Spain its first international title since 1964 and made the team of the tournament as well. He also scored in the final of the 2012 edition and is his country’s third highest goal-scorer with 38 goals.
Torres has always delivered for La Roja but sadly will not be taking part in the 2016 edition as Vicente del Bosque has preferred to leave the striker out for other forwards like Morata and Nolito. El Nino though will always remain in the hearts of the fans as the player who brought Spain's title drought to an end.
Right Striker: David Villa
Who else but David Villa to round it off. El Guaje is Spain’s all-time top goal-scorer with an incredible 59 goals in just 97 appearances. Since making his debut in 2005 till his retirement after the 2014 World Cup, Villa developed into one of the most feared strikers in the world.
Possessing world class technique and finishing ability, Villa succeeded legendary striker Raul as La Roja’s no.7 with great success. He finished as top scorer of Euro 2008 as well as the World Cup in 2010, both of which Spain won, proving his worth to the team.
His exploits saw him make the cut for the team of the tournament in 2008 and having played a major role in the qualifying campaign for the 2012 edition, Villa was unlucky to miss out as a fractured tibia kept him out of the tournament Spain went on to win. A striker of the highest quality, Spain still haven’t found an able replacement for his goal-scoring prowess.
