Zenga reacts to Unai Simón breaking World Cup unbeaten record

Unai Simón set a new World Cup record by remaining unbeaten for 519 consecutive minutes during Spain's 3-0 victory over Austria. This surpasses the previous record held by Walter Zenga, who went 517 minutes without conceding in the 1990 World Cup. Zenga acknowledged Simón's achievement while humorously noting that his record was set in a single tournament, as opposed to spanning two. He expressed pride in holding the record for 36 years but pointed out how goalkeeper records often go unnoticed compared to scoring records. Zenga commented on the reaction to goalkeeping achievements, suggesting that they tend to fade from memory.
