A team faithful to his identity, to his model, to his values, to the work he has been carrying out years of David Martín, arrived at the end of 2016. These are the world champions.

Unai Aguirre

Goalkeeper, 23, Zodiac Atlètic Barceloneta

The best goalkeeper in the world. It is always and always appears in decisive moments. The Spanish defense leader, the hallmark of the team that became strong in the final rounds. Twelve stops in an entire World Cup final are the best reflection of its enormous importance.

Alberto Munárriz

Attack, 31,

Author of one of the most important goals in the history of Spanish water polo. Without his punishment on the horn in the semifinals against Greece to force penalties, nothing would have been possible. A leader inside and out of the water, in this World Cup with less scoring contribution but as decisive as ever.

Álvaro Granados

Attack, 26 years old, Barcelona Athletic Zodiac

The most lethal arm in the world water polo. It is the 'cane' of the selection, with twenty -one goals in the championship and with five decisive so many in the final. He makes his bags this summer to play with the Italian pro rectco and to continue consolidating himself as the best pitcher in the world.

Bernat Sanahuja

Attack, 24,

Close the magic trident of selection launches. He has signed a huge World Cup from the beginning to the end, with outstanding numbers in attack. He pulled the team in the final at the beginning, was whenever he needed and commanded the national team with five goals that are history.

Miguel de Toro

Boya, 31, Ferencvaros

In a nutshell: the buoy of the world champion team and the European champion team. He has had less weight in this World Cup with respect to other championships, but his work both in defense and attack is always life insurance for all his teammates.

Marc Larumbe

Atacker, 31, Marseille

The 'boy for everything' of the selection. Reliability in defense, solidity in attack and ability to adapt to different positions. He has shone especially from the position one to serve balls to the second stick to his companions in plays of superiority.

Javi Bustos

Boya defender, 31, Keio Sabadell

One of the additions to the team for this World Cup. He was the player who rested in the semifinals and in the final, but has maintained the strength in the defense of Spanish Boya after winning a championship like this throughout his career.

Sergi Cabanas

Atacker, 29 years old, Jug Dubrovnik

Another versatile player for the National Team, of which the gallons perhaps do not look but from those who, above all, never fail. It has in the national team a role of teamwork, to help a lot in defense and to appear when the attack is stuck. Everyone fulfills them perfectly. Back to Sabadell next season.

Roger Tahull

Buoy, 28 years,

Surely, the best buoy in the world. His work to fix the defenses is life insurance for the selection, which takes a lot of revenue from his way of dominating the inner game to force expulsions. He has had less scoring prominence in this championship and even had a few minutes in the final, but when he leaves his stamp.

Felipe Perrone

Attack, 39,

The great captain, the great leader, the boss inside and outside the water. The thinking head, the first to go to the counterattack and multiply. The patient referent who has lived the complicated times and says goodbye to the water polo from the top of the world sky.

Unai Biel

Attacks, 22 years, Barcelona Athletic Zodiac

A player that has more and more weight in the selection. His minutes in attack are growing with each championship that passes and responds in all of them. He is already an important player and is called to be one of the great leaders in the future.

Álex Bustos

Buoy advocate, 28 years old,

One of the great defenders of world water polo. Its leadership contribution is key in a selection in which defense is the greatest sign of identity. His contribution as a double buoy in superiority plays has also given great resources in attack.

Edu Lorrio

Gatery, 31 years, Keio Sabadell

Another of the great goalkeepers of the world landscape. In the selection he has contributed great minutes to form a unique pair with Unai Aguirre. He is always in the minutes he has in the pool.

Biel Gomila

Buoy, 19 years,

One of the players who has grown the most with the selection in this World Cup. It has earned more and more minutes in the buoy because its contribution in it has been decisive, providing more and more security for resources to multiply.

Fran Valera

Atacker, 26 years, Keio Sabadell

He has always been in selection dynamics in recent years and has contributed minutes of soda to his teammates complying with solvency. A lot of work for the team.

David Martín

Coach, 48 years

The man who has designed a legend team. Spain has built a winning group, but above all a game identity, an idea, a way of understanding the water polo in which the commitment and effort to the partner are key. Nine medals in twelve great championships, with two world golds and a European gold among them, are the best summary of their sublime work.
