For Olmo, thedecision to retain the No.10 was a simple matter of superstition and personal preference. The playmaker was a central figure during Spain's triumphant Euro 2024 campaign, and he sees no reason to fix what isn't broken as Luis de la Fuente's side heads into the World Cup.
“It’s a number I’ve worn before, the one we won the Euros with. It’s a number I like, so why change it when everything is going well?” Olmo added.
While fans often view the No.10 as a badge of the team's primary star, Olmo's consistency in the shirt makes him a natural fit to continue the legacy of the jersey as Spain look to add a second star to their crest.
