The goal was Torres’ 24th for Spain and puts him into the Top 10 list of all-time goalscorers for La Roja as he has now surpassed both Sergio Ramos and Alfredo Di Stefano.
Torres is also now level on goals with Real Sociedad’s Mikel Oyarzabal who is also in the squad for World Cup 2026.
Here’s a look at the standings:
1. David Villa - 59 goals
2. Raul - 44 goals
3. Fernando Torres - 38 goals
4. Alvaro Morata - 37 goals
5. David Silva 35 goals
6. Fernando Hierro - 29 goals
7. Fernando Morientes - 27 goals
8. Emilio Butragueno - 26 goals
9. Mikel Oyarzabal - 24 goals
10. Ferran Torres - 24 goals
Both Ferran and Oyarzabal will be hoping for more goals at World Cup 2026 which will take them up the all-time list.
Emilio Butragueno and Fernando Morientes are next on the list and could be potentially surpassed by both players over the coming weeks.
Spain open up their World Cup 2026 against debutants Cape Verde and go on to face Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in the group phase.
