"I met Ferran when he was 16. He can play in any position: right wing, left wing, striker... His performance rate is spectacular. He has extraordinary stats, and wherever he plays, he always performs well. We're lucky to have him, and we'll see tomorrow what position he plays,"
"We approach the match with exceptional responsibility, for prestige, for the fans, because we want to keep winning and competing, to achieve our 31st unbeaten match,"
"But the most important thing is that these players never tire of winning. And we will field a competitive team. Respect for our rivals compels us to field our best players. Here, every player is important."
Ferran Torres scored his 23rd international goal, equalling Sergio Ramos and Alfredo Di Stefano and entering Spain's top-10 scorers. Luis de la Fuente praised Torres' versatility, noting his ability to play right wing, left wing or striker, highlighting strong performance rates and extraordinary statistics. Spain approach the match against Turkey with a perfect qualifying record and aim to seal World Cup 2026 qualification while extending a long unbeaten run. Turkey would need an improbable seven-goal win to deny Spain top spot. De la Fuente intends to field a competitive team and values every player.
