"Delighted for Marc Cucurella, because he's had a tough start to his career here at Chelsea... The Stamford Bridge faithful turned on Cucurella, and it was quite hostile... There was a period of time where he was almost trying to think: if the results aren't going so well, you want to do as much as you can to have the crowd with you... But it was obvious there was a real dislike for Marc here."
"I remember playing him against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, I think he was man of the match. It's a credit to him, he's got the character... You're not going to get a better person in terms of how he is with teammates and how good he is around the place... That performance against Saka requires intensity and commitment every single day, and he's been rewarded for that."
"Cucurella has since turned things around, becoming one of the most impactful players in the squad. He was an integral part of Luis de la Fuente's Spain as they won the 2024 European Championship over the summer."
