De la Fuente: We showed we are the best team in the world

Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, expressed immense pride in his team's performance during their 2026 World Cup semi-final clash against France. The Spaniards secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro, marking their second-ever appearance in a World Cup final.

“Four years ago, we embarked on a journey with a clear vision, one we never deviated from, and it has brought us to this point. Today, we faced one of the best teams in the world, but our opponents encountered the best team in the world. That's the difference,” a jubilant De la Fuente declared.

“These players deserve all the credit because, day in and day out, they demonstrate dedication, unity, generosity, and immense talent. They make the difficult look effortless,” the La Roja manager continued, showering praise on his squad.
