Marc Cucurella hailed Spain's 'incredible' defence after they secured their second World Cup title with a 1-0 victory against Argentina. Substitute Ferran Torres scored in extra-time to clinch the win at MetLife Stadium. Spain's defence was impenetrable throughout the tournament, conceding only one goal in eight games—the fewest by any World Cup-winning team.
Defensive Mastery
Cucurella emphasized the team's collective effort in maintaining a solid defence. 'When you don’t concede, I think it’s much easier to win,' he said. 'We’ve done an incredible job in that regard all tournament, and not just the defenders and the goalkeeper, because I think it’s a team effort.'
Team Effort
The 27-year-old left-back highlighted the importance of everyone making sacrifices. 'Ultimately it’s about everyone making sacrifices. We attack together and defend together. That’s one of the keys to this team.'
Time to Celebrate
With the tournament over, Cucurella noted it was time for the team to celebrate. 'Now it’s time to celebrate. We came here with a goal, spent 50 days, or nearly 50, in camp, and now it’s time to be together, enjoy every moment, reminisce, and above all, switch off.'
