Dani Olmo equals Spanish assist record as Spain reaches World Cup final

Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo recorded his eighth assist at a major tournament during Spain's 2‑0 semi‑final victory over France, matching Cesc Fàbregas' record. Olmo reached the tally in just 22 matches, compared with Fàbregas' 26, and helped Spain secure its first final appearance since 2010.

The assists came from a double pass to Pedri Porro for the second goal and an earlier contribution in the group stage against Saudi Arabia. Spanish media praised Olmo for his creative play, defensive work and ability to accelerate the team's attack.
