After Spain won the 2026 World Cup, Cucurella gave an interview to Brazilian media, talking about his feelings after winning the final, the future of Spanish football, and this special summer of winning the World Cup and joining Real Madrid.
Kuku, thank you so much for the interview. You're very popular in Brazil, and we're broadcasting live to Brazil right now; many fans love you. Congratulations on becoming the world champion! How do you feel now?
I am very happy. We played a fantastic game, and I think we deserved to win this final from the very beginning. I feel very proud because it wasn't easy to do all this, and everyone is very happy now.
We were just discussing how you've been the best left-back in this World Cup. How do you feel about that?
Thank you so much, thank you so much. I'm very happy and have been working hard to do my job. I think the whole team performed exceptionally well, and having such a group of teammates around makes many things easier. We're very happy now, and it's time to celebrate.
Cucumber, what are your thoughts on the future of Spanish football? After winning this championship, what are your expectations for the future of Spanish football?
I believe our future is very bright. We have many very young players, and we're a team that will always give its all. Hopefully, this won't be our last championship trophy.
Now that you're both a world champion and a Real Madrid player, it feels quite special, doesn't it?
Yes, this was a unique summer, and I think I'll remember it forever. We still have so much to strive for, but for now, let's enjoy this well-deserved vacation and get back to work soon.
