Quiet against Portugal

Laporte generated one clearance in Monday's 1-0 win against Portugal.

Analysis: Laporte was locked up much of the game despite usually having the ball at his feet to start the attack for Spain, as he was tightly marked most of the match, only completing 37 passes. However, he would still help his team earn a fifth straight clean sheet, notching one clearance during the win. The veteran should remain a significant part of the defense moving forward as they eye another clean sheet in the quarterfinals.

Keeps another clean sheet

Laporte generated two shots (zero on goal) in Thursday's 3-0 victory against Austria. He also recorded three tackles, four clearances and two interceptions.

Analysis: Laporte, as well as Pau Cubarsi, had to deal with the towering threat of Michael Gregoritsch and Marko Arnautovic, but the Athletic Club defender had another sound display at the back en route to Spain's fourth consecutive clean sheet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Through four starts, Laporte has racked up 19 clearances, nine interceptions and four tackles.
