Since conquering the world in 2010, Spain haven't had the easiest of times.
Successes have dried up in the last few years and terrible performances in recent major tournaments has dampened the hopes of this once blossoming football nation.
If was a Spaniard, I'd be hiding those fears, as FIFA 23 certainly predicts that Spain have yet another generation of superstars coming through the ranks.
As you'll see, Barcelona are once again the manufacturer to thank but, either way, these Spanish superstars are set to dominate in-game and beyond.
All ratings taken from sofifa, stats accurate as of Monday, 3 April
Pedri (OVR 85 - POT 93)
Age: 19
Position: CM
Team: Barcelona
Forget Spanish wonderkids, Pedri is the perfect wonderkid in FIFA 23 bar none.
A sensational, generational talent who promises to be Barcelona's next big prize asset, Pedri is a man that will one day lift a Ballon d'Or trophy.
In FIFA 23, despite only being 19, Pedri commands a valuation of over £100 Million and can easily become the best player in the game.
The La Masia superstar boasts a stunning range of stats, from 87 Dribbling and 88 Agility to 90 Balance and 88 Ball Control. Quite simply, he is unreal.
Ansu Fati (OVR 79 - POT 90)
Age: 19
Position: LW ST
Team: Barcelona
You'll be noticing a lot of Barcelona stars on this list, which should make the Catalan club smile given their strenuous financial situation.
When financial levers fail, their wonderkids certainly won't, and Ansu Fati is one of their brightest prospects in FIFA 23.
He may not have lived up to the hype yet, but Fati still possesses all the necessary skills to go incredibly far in the game.
A superstar in the making who can reach 90 in this year's game, Fati is a mean you need to get your hands on.
Gavi (OVR 80 - POT 89)
Age: 17
Position: CM LW RW
Team: Barcelona
You guessed it, another Barcelona stars finds himself on this list in the form of talented midfielder Gavi.
A fast grower in FIFA 23, Gavi has all the credentials to become the best wonderkid around in this year's game.
Valued at £45 Million at the start of the game, you'll want to jump on this deal ASAP before Barcelona wise up to their next talent.
With 86 Agility, 83 Ball Control and 90 Balance in his locker, Gavi is already the complete midfielder, and he's only 17!
Moleiro (OVR 75 - POT 88)
Age: 18
Position: LM CM CAM
Team: UD Las Palmas
We move away from Catalan, to the Canaries, where you'll find wonderkid sensation Moleiro.
Plying his trade at UD Las Palmas in the second tier of Spanish football, Moleiro is too good to be stuck away from the big guns for too much longer.
A gifted midfielder who can play centrally or out wide, Moleiro is the latest talent to come through the ranks in Gran Canaria, following the likes of David Silva.
83 Balance is his top stat and these attributes grow quickly, as the young Spaniard is certain to take flight in the years to come.
Yeremy Pino (OVR 79 - POT 87)
Age: 19
Position: RM LM ST
Team: Villareal
Take one look at the Spanish national team and you'll immediately see that they are in desperate need for a striker.
With that in mind, all Spain supporters will be keeping their fingers crossed that FIFA 23's predictions come true, and Yeremy Pino quickly ascends to one of the best forwards in Europe.
Currently at Villareal, the Yellow Submarine striker is still finding his feet and form, with the forward also being played out wide.
With 81 Dribbling and 79 Finishing, this man could be the answer that Spain have desperately been looking for.
Balde (OVR 76 - POT 87)
Age: 18
Position: LB LM RB
Team: Barcelona
Back to Barca with a bang, as Balde of the Catalan giants has easily become one of the best wonderkid full-backs around in FIFA 23.
A potential world beater who is on the fringes of Xavi's squad, Balde is another one-name wonder that could become a legend and the Spotify Camp Nou.
With 90 Acceleration, 91 Sprint Speed and 81 Agility in his locker, it's clear that this man is incredibly fast and dangerously effective when sprinting forward.
One to watch in the next few years, we recommend getting this man in your team ASAP.
Stefan Bajcetic (OVR 69 - POT 85)
Age: 17
Position: CDM CM
Team: Liverpool
There are always players that emerge from no where and immediately become stars in football.
Evan Ferguson looks to be one, but Stefan Bajcetic may just be the next best thing.
The Spanish midfielder has been called upon to help Klopp's Liverpool in a forgetful season, with the 17-year-old proving to be the only real highlight, other than the 7-0 thumping of Manchester United of course.
Bajcetic is still very raw and his FIFA stats reflect that fact, but there's no denying that this young man has a very, very bright future ahead of him.
