""It's a case of being among the favourites. Success is having chances to fight to win,""
""There's a very fine line between winning and losing. There's no such thing as a clear favourite in a World Cup. Previously, football focused on other teams, but now Spain is among the favourites.""
""We approach this match with a great sense of responsibility. For prestige. To showcase what we have achieved. We want to remain number one in the world.""
""Mark my words, the best is yet to come. These players? They are addicted to winning.""
Spain are being tipped as favourites for next year's World Cup but have not yet officially qualified, with a 4-0 win over Georgia all but securing their spot. Spain will top Group E if they avoid defeat to Turkiye, while Turkiye retain a slim chance only with an improbable 7-0 victory. Excluding friendlies, Spain are unbeaten in their last 30 competitive matches (W25 D5), their best-ever streak. De la Fuente urged caution about pressure, warned there is no clear World Cup favourite, expressed confidence that the squad can reach a higher level, and said players are addicted to winning. Opta gives Spain a 73.7% chance to beat Turkiye.
