Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabián Ruiz continues to perform at a fantastic level for the Spanish national team. Ruiz was a standout for La Roja at UEFA Euro 2024 and it’s continuing into the UEFA Nations League competition.
Spain faced Switzerland on Sunday night at Stade de Genève, and it was the Ruiz show during the Matchday 2 contest. The 28-year-old scored a brace, following goals in the 13th and 77th minute, while entering an elite group in the Luis de la Fuente era.
OptaJose spotlighted on Twitter the top Spain players involved in the most goals under de la Fuente across all competitions:
- Lamine Yamal: three goals, eight assists
- Joselu Mato: six goals, two assists
- Mikel Oyarzabal: six goals, two assists
- Dani Olmo: six goals, two assists
- Nico Williams: three goals, five assists

It will be interesting to see if Ruiz can translate this performance to PSG, as they’ll need him in the coming weeks with Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League fixtures on the horizon after this international break. Nonetheless, it’s good news for the Parisians to have a confident Ruiz to help the squad.
