Cucurella: "Today has also served as a wake-up call for us"

Following a 1-2 victory against Croatia in the Nations League, Spanish national team defender Marc Cucurella described the match as a necessary wake-up call for the squad. Despite securing the win, Spain was forced to overcome an initial deficit, a challenge that highlighted the need for the team to avoid complacency in future fixtures.

Cucurella emphasized that the team's ability to mount a comeback was the most significant takeaway from the performance. He noted that the match served as a reminder of the competitive nature of the tournament, even as the team continues to navigate the complexities of international play, including the impact of opponent disciplinary actions such as the expulsion of Ivan Perisic.
