""We have to win, win, and win," De la Fuente said after the draw. "It's the only thing we can control since we have a huge responsibility. We have to take it one game at a time and focus on ourselves. "We must be respectful because every match will be difficult. They are complex, each team with their own peculiarities. The first thing is to get through the group stage, which isn't easy, but we want to go as far as possible.""
""I just ran into (Argentina coach Lionel) Scaloni and we said that if either of us stumbles, we might cross paths (before the final)," he said."
Spain was drawn with Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup group stage. Spain must adopt a win-every-game approach, take matches one at a time and focus on controllable factors to advance. Cape Verde will make a tournament debut, Saudi Arabia were the only team to beat Argentina at the last World Cup, and Uruguay, led by former Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa, present a dangerous final-group opponent. The final group match against Uruguay could decide first place. If Spain and defending champions Argentina both top their groups, they would only meet in the final; otherwise they might meet earlier.
