Spain crowned world champions after Euro 2024 triumph

Spain's national football team has claimed the World Cup title, adding to their Euro 2024 victory. Coach Luis de la Fuente celebrated the win with immense joy and pride, thanking his staff and players for their efforts.

“

The feeling? Happiness, pride, satisfaction. We have great players but it's a great group and it's an honor to work with them.

"The feeling? Happiness, pride, satisfaction," de la Fuente stated, emphasizing that while the players are the stars, a dedicated team behind the scenes also contributed to the success. He described the team as a "great group" and expressed his honor in working with them.

Before the match and during extra time, de la Fuente reminded his players of their "rendezvous with history." He advised them to maintain concentration, warning that a lapse could lead to conceding a goal. After the final whistle, one player questioned what was left to achieve, to which de la Fuente replied that the next challenge awaits in September.

“

We have a rendezvous with history.

Reflecting on the team's performance, de la Fuente highlighted Rodri's exceptional talent, suggesting he is "the best player in the world" and has a long career ahead. He urged patience with the player, anticipating he might win the Ballon d'Or in the future.

“

It has been a while since we said that Rodri is the best player in the world, and he still has a long way to go.

The coach also commended the team's character, noting that "people seemed surprised that football could be played by good people." He stressed that a team built on "good people, supportive, generous individuals with strong values" can succeed. Spain proved they were "the best team in the world" by overcoming top national teams, demonstrating that collective interest and personal values drive success.

Those who fight, who bounce back, are always rewarded. It's a goal that has gone down in history.
