In the European Cup final that took place at 03:00 on July 15th, Spain claimed the title undefeated after defeating England 2-1. Following the match, Rodri, the Spanish international who was named the best player of the tournament, gave an interview.
Rodri stated, “This is a beautiful day, and I’m sure it will be one of the best moments of my career, despite the arduous journey. We have become the European Cup champions. Spain has won the most titles among all teams, our predecessors have shown us the way, and as long as we put in the effort, rewards are inevitable.”
“Perhaps this was the most challenging competition yet. Spain defeated four world champions, and we’ve made history. However, our fortune in being drawn into this half of the draw also indicates the team’s champion mentality. This mindset is cultivated step by step. Many of us were champions at U19 or U21 levels, and our head coach understands what needs to be done.”
“Our head coach, Luis de la Fuente, it’s time we talk about his accomplishments. He led us to conquer Europe bit by bit. We are Spain, and we deserve to be the European Cup champions. This feeling is so wonderful. I call upon our Spanish fans to take to the streets in celebration. Today is a day for us to be proud.”
“We’ve made history, but we won’t rest on our laurels. We are talented and gifted, and we will continue moving forward.”
