Marc Cucurella, player of the Spanish national football team, was impressed by the solidity of La Roja's defensive line, calling it 'amazing' during the cup match after they won the title against Argentina 1-0. Cucurella, who recently completed his transfer from English Chelsea to Spanish Real Madrid, said: 'When you don't concede goals, I think winning becomes much easier. We did an amazing job from that aspect throughout the tournament, not just the defenders and the goalkeeper, because I think it's a collective responsibility. In the end, it's about everyone making sacrifices, we attack together and defend together. This is one of the keys of this team.' The left-back, 27, explained that Spain, which previously won the World Cup in 2010, can finally relax, adding: 'Now it's time to celebrate. We came here with a clear goal, and we spent 50 days in camp. It's time to be together, enjoy every moment, recall memories, and above all, detach ourselves from pressure. I think we deserve a big party.' Substitute Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in the second extra-time period, as Spain finally broke Argentina's resistance, who played with ten men at MetLife Stadium. Coach Luis de la Fuente's team conceded only one goal in their eight matches during the 2026 edition of the tournament, the fewest goals conceded by any team in a World Cup-winning campaign. Belgium was the only team to score against Spain during the quarter-finals in Los Angeles.
