Luis de la Fuente said in his post-match comments: "In particular, I feel a great deal of pride, pride in this generation of football players who have continued to grow with this idea, remained faithful to it, worked to improve it, and given us a true example of a group, a team, and a family, in addition to being great players with exceptional potential and talent."

He continued: "I don't want to tell you how I feel inside because I will make you feel sorry for me! No, in fact I am very moved now, especially when I look back and think of them. We talked a lot with the players, and they were telling me: 'Captain, we have won everything... everything!' And that is wonderful and amazing. With this generation of players, I want to repeat again and again that they are role models for Spanish sport, for Spanish youth, and for all of Spain. Together we are stronger, and that is something no one disputes."

He concluded: "I feel a special pride, because accompanying them on this journey and this path is a great honor for me."
