Notes:

Home shirt as worn by El Niño Torres and Spain’s golden generation during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and leading up to UEFA Euro 2008. This shirt represents the final stage before Spain's historic rise to dominance in world football. It was worn during Torres’ World Cup debut, where he netted three goals in four matches, including a stunning strike against Ukraine and the third goal in a 3–1 win over Tunisia.

This Adidas shirt is steeped in heritage, with a minimalist design and yellow/gold detailing, symbolic of the country’s flag. With Torres’ name and number 9 on the back, this version recalls a time when “El Niño” was exploding onto the global stage and laying the groundwork for the legendary Euro 2008 campaign that followed.
