Who have been the best strikers in the history of Spain? Without being the birthplace of them, Spain has good strikers throughout its history. It's more, there was a time when only came defenses and goalkeepers fortunately, He gave way to another type of player short in stature but full of quality and magic that brought the best years of Spanish football selection level. Despite them, the list of great Spanish front is not short nor untalented. That's why, in Hanged, queremos recordar a algunos de los mejores delanteros de la historia nacidos en España.
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. Su mayor lunar, no ganar nada con España.
David Villa
He “Guaje” It is certainly the other “7” held in Spain. Fue el encargado de superar a Raúl como top scorer in the history of the Spanish selection e hizo goles en todos los conjuntos que estuvo.
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. La mayoría con el Valencia. Y un total de 252 en toda su carrera profesional. 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 y principios de los 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
El fútbol del niño no agradaba a todo el mundo. Para unos podía ser un talento, 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. Aparte de la cantidad de goles marcados sobre todo en el Atlético de Madrid y 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. Campeón con España de la Euro 2008, el Mundial 2010 and the Eurocup 2012. Se retiró siendo el tercer máximo goleador de la historia de España con 38 goles aunque su récord, se ve amenazado por Morata.
Alvaro Morata
Criticado por muchos y machacado pero Álvaro Morata ya es el cuarto máximo goleador histórico de España con 36 goals. Champion of the Nations League 2023 y de la Eurocopa 2024 with Spain, el ex delantero de equipos como el Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atlético de Madrid y Juventus entre otros, is one of the mejores goleadores que ha tenido la selección española.
