Alex Baena has scored a solitary goal in the ongoing World Cup in North America.
Spain have enjoyed a productive campaign in the FIFA World Cup 2026, reaching the semi-final where they are scheduled to take on France. One of the main reasons for La Roja’s success in the expanded 48-team edition has been the form of Alex Baena on the left wing.
The Atletico Madrid attacker did not play a single minute in Spain’s opener against Cape Verde, which ended in a goalless draw. Head coach Luis de la Fuente understandably shook up the playing XI after that result, bringing Baena in on the left flank.
Since then, the 24-year-old has started all five games for La Roja, registering two goal contributions while also putting in solid performances in the wide areas, especially against Uruguay and Portugal.
He scored his first-ever World Cup goal in the match against Uruguay, which was his third international goal for La Roja. He then added an assist in the Round of 32 win over Austria.

Baena scored the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute, ensuring that his side ended the group stage as table toppers. It was an opportunistic goal from the winger, who was in the right place at the right time to drive home the loose ball after Uruguay failed to clear Marcos Llorente’s cross.
