They conceded only eight goals in total and kept three clean sheets. Martínez also took home the Golden Glove at the 2024 Copa América, as he had five clean sheets and only allowed one goal in the entire tournament. Simón was an influential player in Spain's run for Euro 2024, allowing just three goals and keeping two clean sheets in six games.
