Spain coach Luis de la Fuente commended Real Madrid's defender Marc Cucurella, describing him as "sensational." Cucurella, one of Real Madrid's big summer signings from Chelsea, had a stellar World Cup performance after officially joining the Spanish club. Although Cucurella's start at Real Madrid was decent, recent games have seen a decline in his form. During Spain's 4-1 victory over Croatia, however, Cucurella exhibited a stellar performance, helping his team secure the win.
De la Fuente acknowledged the phenomenon of Spanish players often performing better for their national team compared to their club teams. He noted that Cucurella's exceptional performance in the World Cup and national team matches might be due to the comfort he feels on the international stage and the style of play that suits him.
However, Cucurella still needs to improve his performance for Real Madrid, especially after his lackluster display in the Madrid derby where he was unable to stop Atletico Madrid from dominating the game.
