Spain coach: 'No matter which team we meet in the final, we just want to win'

Coach Luis de la Fuente believes Spain will do their best to win the EURO 2024 final, whether they meet England or the Netherlands.

Spain extended their winning streak at EURO 2024 to six games, beating France 2-1 to reach the final. Despite conceding in the ninth minute, Luis de la Fuente's men came back with two goals from Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo. Spain became the first team in history to win six consecutive matches at a EURO. In the final, "La Furia Roja" will face the winner of the other semi-final between England and the Netherlands.

According to coach De la Fuente, Spain does not care who they will face in the final, because he and his students have only one goal: to win the championship. "For Spain, it is the same for any team in the final. It does not matter. We have seen the path we are taking at EURO 2024. For me, England or the Netherlands are also big opponents. Spain will wait for them with open arms. We want to win, that's all," coach De la Fuente affirmed. With 13 goals scored at EURO 2024, and only 3 goals conceded, Spain is the best attacking team and also the most impressive defense in the tournament. Returning to the match against France, coach De la Fuente analyzed: "Spain played perfect defense against France. Not only did we defend well, we also organized counter-attacks, created dangerous opportunities, forcing France to reveal gaps. Spain played a very complete match overall."

The Spanish team will return to the EURO final after 12 years of waiting. This is also the first major tournament final that "La Furia Roja" has experienced in more than a decade. According to coach De la Fuente, Spain respects all opponents, but his students are always confident that they will make history in the decisive match in Berlin at 2am on July 16. "We are very happy to have won the EURO semi-final, but we are even more proud when looking at the way the players read the game, adapted to overcome strong opponents. Spain has outstanding players, knowing how to cope with the situation. However, Spain needs to be humble. Football always needs moderation. There are many strong teams present at EURO. Spain made a difference, but we want to continue to make history. Now is the time for the whole team to relax and think about the final next Sunday," coach De la Fuente affirmed.
