Marc
Cucurella
says
playing
in
the
Euro
2024
final
is
a
dream
come
true
for
himself
and
his
teammates
as
they
prepare
to
face
England.
La
Roja
secured
their
spot
in
the
final
by
defeating
France
on
Tuesday.
They
are
now
set
to
face
England,
who
are
seeking
their
first-ever
European
Championship
trophy.
Spain
is
one
of
the
most
successful
teams
in
the
European
Championships,
having
already
won
three
titles.
However,
if
they
can
beat
England
on
Sunday,
it
would
be
their
first
major
trophy
since
2012.
Cucurella
has
shared
that
this
opportunity
is
a
dream
come
true
for
the
players
ahead
of
Sunday’s
final.
“For
lots
of
us
it’s
a
dream,
we
fight
a
lot
we
need
to
suffer
a
lot
but
we
play
like
a
team
we’re
a
family
and
I
think
we
deserve
to
stay
there
and
on
Sunday
we
need
to
enjoy
this
dream,”
he
said.
Cucurella
prior
to
this
tournament
had
faced
criticism
from
Chelsea
fans
for
his
performances
in
the
2023/2024
season
but
has
seen
a
resurgence
in
his
performances
during
the
Euros.
The
former
Brighton
and
Hove
Albion
back
was
quick
to
shower
praises
on
his
manager
for
what
he’s
done
to
get
the
team
clicking.
“I
think
we
have
a
special
team,
a
mixed
with
young
and
experienced
players.
I
think
the
coach
deserves
to
stay
here.
He’s
worked
a
lot
in
the
past,”
he
added.
On
Sunday,
Spain
will
have
the
chance
to
write
history
by
becoming
the
first
team
to
win
the
European
Championships
on
four
occasions
and
the
players
would
hope
their
dreams
are
manifested
after
the
final
whistle.
