Despite them, the list of great Spanish front is not short nor untalented. That's why, in Hanged, We want to remember some of the best forwards in history born in Spain.
The best strikers in the history of Spain
Raúl González Blanco
He “7” by excellence. 1031 parties and 456 goals endorse him, 228 of them in the Spanish League, 57 with the Spanish and 72 in the Champions League. Despite their numbers, He was always a player loved by many and hated by many others but he always answered doing what he did best, sending the ball into the rival networks.
He did in Spain, Germany and Qatar, countries where he played. Certainly we talk about is arguably the best striker he has given Spain. Your biggest mole, not win anything with Spain.
David Villa
He “Guaje” It is certainly the other “7” held in Spain. He was in charge of surpassing Raúl as top scorer in the history of the Spanish selection and he scored goals in all the teams he was in.
Left the quarry of Sporting de Gijon, in the League, he played with Zaragoza, Valencia, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid scoring 185 of the goals of his career in the Spanish Primera Division. The majority with Valencia. And a total of 252 throughout his professional career. He has won two European Championships and World Cup with Spain T-shirt with which he participated in three World Cups, scoring in the three quotes.
Telmo Zarra
The best head in Europe after Churchill. So descrbían to Telmo Zarra and tremendous header. The spectacular Athletic Bilbao striker, It was the benchmark for Spain of 50 and the man who won trophies for being top scorer in league history. Besides, He also had the honor of scoring the most important goal in the history of selection to Iniesta in 2010. He did against England in 1950 It was not until the appointment of South Africa, the best feat of a Spanish team in a World Cup.
Enrique Castro “Quini”
The Wizard, It was the killer Sporting and Barcelona of 70 and principles of 80. It was one of the top scorers in the history of the Spanish League and played two World Spain. He was also victim of a kidnapping that occupied the front pages of the time.
Fernando Torres
Not everyone liked the boy's football. For some it could be a talent, for many others, perhaps too many, a package of considerable dimensions. By numbers and figures almost one is forced to have to include it in this list. Apart from the number of goals scored, especially at Atlético de Madrid and Liverpool, It has the honor of being the author of the goal that gave Spain in Euro 2008 and Spanish record player with the most expensive transfer when moved from Liverpool to Chelsea. Champion with Spain in the Euro 2008, the world 2010 and the Eurocup 2012. He retired being the third top scorer in the history of Spain con 38 goals although his record, is threatened by Morata.
Alvaro Morata
Criticized by many and crushed but Álvaro Morata is already Spain's fourth all-time top scorer with 36 goals. Champion of the Nations League 2023 and the Eurocup 2024 with Spain, the former forward of teams like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atlético de Madrid and Juventus among others, is one of the best scorers that the Spanish team has had.
