How Spain Abandoned Tiki-Taka to Dominate Football Again

Spain's National Team once dominated world football between 2008 and 2012, riding the wave of a Golden Generation that brought home two Euros and a World Cup in stunning back-to-back-to-back victories. However, after this unprecedented success, things started to decline for the Spanish National Team. Tiki-taka, their famed tactical style, was exposed, key players aged, and Spain faced embarrassing exits at the 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups. Fast forward to 2024, and Spain has reinvented itself with a more direct tactical approach and a fresh pool of players like Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal, and Rodri, leading them to win the 2024 Euros and regain their place at the top of world football. But it’s not just the men's team—Spain is also excelling in women's football, youth football, and club football (thanks to the successes of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona). So now, in this video, we’ll go over everything that has led to Spain’s resurgence on the global stage. 🇪🇸

This definitely took a while to make, so I'd appreciate if you guys could share, like, and subscribe :).

You dont know how much I wanted thiago alcantara to play in the euro's

[parthmarathe]

Nobody talks about Dani Olmo. Personally I think he's probably the most underrated player rn, even after his insane euros performance

[joshuateixeira]

18:20 I feel like everyone talks about how Spain's golden generation is the best international generation of players this century, but you have to consider Brazil's golden generation that lasted 13 years from 1994 - 2007, a true footballing dynasty. In just this century alone, they have won 1 World Cup, 3 Copa Americas, 3 Confederation Cups, and technically 2 Olympic Gold Medals since 3 national team players can play with the U23s. Though Spain for me is the best European side of this century so far, I would say they're probably 3rd best this century, behind Argentina and Brazil. Great video btw

[ompatel]

I hope that early success don't make them weak after this euro

[mateousax]

Rinus michel created total football, then evolve into a proto tiki taka with cruyff, then evolve into tiki taka with pep and luis enrique, and now tiki taka is evolving into more vertical, direct and more intense style of play. It’s not dying, just evolving.

[TrueBakonCing]

2008-2012 spain midfield is Xabi Alonso, Silva, and Fabregas on the BENCH?

[Samuel_Chand]

Hey Nabutho I am a really big fan of ur content keep it up 👍 ❤

[ahmedyasir]

great video nabuto, love from malaysia

[nathyboi]

cruyff is a hero for everyone... besides real madrid, rest in peace dutch legend 🫡 🇳🇱

[OliseHiveg]

I’m going to miss euro 2024, even tho I’m a Trent fan and he was benched 😭

[lobanoubm.]

Do a video about Italy's downfall

[vin]

Spain have so many talents, when spain loses in 2022 world cup, I started to think if they can use other players in spain, gladly they did, instead on sticking to Barca and Madrid players

[godkongsnake]

Don't forget about the US beating Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup.

[clusterwaffles]

Yo Nabhuto just to let you know ever since that emre can goal in the euros Germany v Scotland I’ve been a fan of this channel

[prometheustv]

People made fun of Spain saying tiki Taka was dead yet they won the euros playing by far the best football and leaving pragmatic masters like France and England in their wake. Spain only had to wait 12 years to win another tournament. Which is only 5 tournaments. While other nations like Germany, Italy. France had to wait longer. They rebuilt their team faster than anyone. 2018 World Cup was the last tournament with the old generation and two tournaments later they’re champions again.

[EnriqueBartulac]

I feel bad for Gavi. In a struggling Spanish side in the 2022 WC he was a bright spot. Too bad he missed out on the Euros 😢

[erdiego]

And even the only old spanish player De La Fuente called up for the team, Jesús Navas absolutely dominated Mbappe on the semis

[arsenalfan]

Hey Nabhuto. I just want to say that you make amazing videos. Keep up the good work. By the way I have a video idea if you don't mind. The downfall of the Norway Football Team. It's been 24 years since Norway have qualified for a major tournament. Right now they have a talented and a great squad where this is probably Norway's best ever squad in a long time. They have the potential to make an underdog run at the Euros or even at the World Cup. I think that Norway needs a better manager. For the Nations League Norway are in a difficult group alongside Austria, Slovenia and Kazakhstan. Norway should aim to get 1st place in that group but just like the last Euro Qualifiers which was a doable group for Norway they were a huge disappointment. They should make it to the next World Cup and the next Euros given how stacked their squad looks. I appreciate it if you look at my video idea. Many thanks

[jimenamartinez]

What about Argentina, They won the Copa America 2021, won the UEFA Cup of Champions 2020, won the World Cup 2022, and won the Copa America 2024. They also deserve a video.

[ataribaduku]

Nice Video. I have a request. If he does well at West Ham, I would like you to do a video on Niclas Füllkrug
