Cucurella Shuts Down Neville Criticism After Euro Victory
Gary Neville said the Spanish defender was one of the reasons Spain wouldn't win the Eurocup. Now he has received his answer.
One of the standout names of this Euro-winning Spain team is undoubtedly Marc Cucurella. His outstanding performance at left-back allowed the Chelsea defender to be a key player in defense and silence his critics.
After winning the Euro, Cucurella remembered one person in particular: Gary Neville. The former Manchester United player and TV commentator once said, "Cucurella is one of the reasons why Spain probably can't win the Euro."
Those words didn't distract Cucurella. He had a spectacular Euro and once he had the trophy in his hands, with the job done, he responded to Neville.
He did so through an Instagram story where he recalled Neville's words and wrote his response. "In the end, we completed the journey, Gary. Thank you for your support."
The Spanish player added a photo of himself celebrating after winning the final against England.
Cucurella himself was also one of the main figures in Spain's celebrations. He was seen with a microphone in hand, standing on the table, and delivering a message to Haaland.
