Spain star ruins Gary Neville with 10-word response to pre-tournament prediction

Marc Cucurella has sarcastically thanked former England right-back Gary Neville for his support after Spain won the European Championship.

La Roja overcame England 2-1 in Sunday s final in Berlin to win their fourth European Championship title, with Mikel Oyarzabal coming off the bench to score a late winner.

Oyarzabal was assisted by Chelsea defender Cucurella, who had an excellent tournament and was comfortably the best left-back at Euro 2024.

Before Spain s tournament kicked off, Manchester United legend Neville pretty much wrote off Spain when discussing their credentials in Germany, singling out Cucurella as a weak link.

He s aggressive, he s tenacious, he s a busy little full back, he said. The price tag still astounds everyone to this day.
