Only one person! A 30-year-old star is on track to win both the Champions League and the World Cup. He has played 49 matches for Spain without a single defeat.

In the first World Cup semifinal, which ended on July 15 Beijing time, Spain defeated France 2-0, securing a spot in the final after 16 years. With France eliminated, the sole player capable of winning both the Champions League and World Cup this year is 30-year-old Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz.

Before the semifinal, six Paris Saint-Germain players had the opportunity to win both the Champions League and World Cup this year. However, with France's exit, five of them—Lucas Hernández, Zaïre-Emery, Barcola, Doué, and Dembélé—are now definitely out, while their PSG teammate, Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz, still holds onto hope.

In World Cup history, only 11 players have won the Champions League and World Cup in the same year. Fabián Ruiz has the chance to join these 11 legends. The last player to achieve this was Argentine striker Julián Álvarez.

In this match, Fabián Ruiz started ahead of Pedri and teamed up with Rodri to effectively shut down France's formidable attack. According to post-match statistics, Ruiz made 2 key passes, while on defense he recorded 4 tackles, 1 clearance, and 2 interceptions, winning 5 of 6 duels—making him an impenetrable shield in front of Spain's defense.

Notably, Fabián Ruiz is also a lucky charm for Spain. He has never lost a match in 49 appearances for the national team, with a record of 34 wins and 15 draws. In those 49 games, he has contributed an impressive 7 goals and 12 assists.

Backed by such remarkable achievements, perhaps in the upcoming final, Spain should really consider letting this "lucky charm" continue to play and work wonders.
