Before the World Cup even started, the Opta Predictor backed Spain to win it all. Gianni Infantino’s response at the opening ceremony? “If Opta said so.” Weeks later, Spain are world champions.

A few days on from the World Cup semi-finals, this stat from France against Spain still stands out. France had 0 shots on target in the opening 80 minutes.
