Just look at the Spanish National Team, they really don't have a ton of "athletes"
This is a tired argument. Spain does have great athletes, just a different type of athlete. Foot speed, quickness, and change of pace are all athletic movements. Also, Spain hasn't always been what they are today. Just an incredible generation of players and winners that has come through. And Messi helps too (in terms of Spain's club level success).
