Merino: The feeling of winning is unparalleled, and I hope to experience this moment again and again in the future.

During Spain's World Cup victory celebration, Merino was interviewed by radio station Cadena SER.

Mikel, today is an incredible day, isn't it?

Merino: That was amazing, absolutely insane.

What is the most unforgettable experience for you? Would you like to have this experience again?

Merino (laughs): Of course, I hope so, I hope to do it again. That's our mentality, we want to do it again, and keep repeating it. The feeling of winning is unparalleled, especially seeing the happiness on all the fans' faces, we always hope to experience it again.

You scored two goals in the World Cup and have two stars on your chest. Is "2" your lucky number?

Yes, but I hope that number will be "3" next time. I also hope we can win more championships. Most importantly, we are continuing to develop and grow this football culture, making all fans happy.
