Borja Iglesias is a traditional centre-forward in a Spain squad that rarely selects one — tall, strong in the air, and effective as a target man, which makes him a genuinely different option from the more mobile forwards around him. He spent four seasons at Real Betis, where he was a consistent La Liga scorer, before returning to Celta Vigo. His international appearances have been limited precisely because Spain's system tends to favour technical forwards who drop deep and combine, but his physicality offers an alternative when games need a different solution. At 33, he is likely at his final World Cup and brings experienced depth to the squad.
