Tottenham Can't Win in England, But Regularly "Produces" World Champions
Although the London club has recorded disappointing results in the Premier League for years, their players dominate the global stage. Pedro Porro continued an incredible streak that began in 2018.
London's Tottenham has long been considered one of the unluckiest clubs in the English football elite. Despite formally belonging to the Premier League's "Big Six," the team is rarely competitive for the top spots, and last season they even feared for their survival in the top flight.
However, when it comes to international football and the biggest tournaments, the picture is completely different. Tottenham's players regularly shine in their national team jerseys, leaving their pale club performances behind.
World Cup Domination
At the recent World Cup, the London club's defenders played crucial roles for their respective national teams. Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Djed Spence were defensive pillars for the Netherlands, Argentina, and England, but the biggest spotlight fell on Pedro Porro.
The Spanish right-back managed to climb to the top of the world with his national team, thereby continuing a truly fascinating and unusual tradition for his club.
Third Consecutive Tournament with a Gold Medal
Namely, a Tottenham player has managed to lift the most prestigious trophy in world football for the third consecutive World Cup. This incredible streak was started by the legendary French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who captained his nation to the world crown in Russia in 2018.
Four years later, in 2022, Cristian Romero repeated this success by winning the title with the Argentine squad. Now, with the triumph of Pedro Porro and Spain, Tottenham proves that while club trophies may be out of reach, their dressing room is full of players who know how to conquer the world.
