Who is Unai Sim\u00f3n?<\/h2>\n

Unai Sim\u00f3n is the goalkeeper for Athletic Club and Spain, a one-club man who came through the academy in Bilbao and has been his country’s first choice for years. Born in June 1997, the 29-year-old was Spain’s No.1 as they won Euro 2024, and he had earlier helped them lift the 2023 UEFA Nations League. He was also awarded the 2023-24 Zamora Trophy as the best goalkeeper in La Liga. Commanding in his box and increasingly assured with the ball at his feet, he is the calm foundation of Spain’s title bid.<\/p>\n\n
