“After going all the way, Gary, thanks for your support,” Cucurella posted on Instagram, tagging Neville in a pointed message. Throughout the tournament, Cucurella showcased his resilience and skill, silencing critics with his consistent performances.
His assist for Mikel Oyarzabal’s winning goal against England in the final underscored his importance to the Spanish side, proving Neville’s skepticism unfounded.
Spain’s victory over England in Berlin capped off a flawless campaign for La Roja, who maintained a 100% record throughout the tournament.
Cucurella’s defensive solidity and attacking contributions were crucial in navigating tough encounters against top European sides.
Neville, a former England and Manchester United defender turned pundit, had earlier singled out Cucurella as a potential weak link in Spain’s lineup.
However, the 25-year-old’s response on social media resonated strongly, reflecting his determination and vindication following Spain’s historic triumph.
As Cucurella basks in Spain’s Euro 2024 success, his performance serves as a testament to resilience and the ability to rise above criticism on the grandest stage of European football.
