Marc Cucurella was unexpectedly the most impressive player in Spain’s victory over Italy this morning.

Marc Cucurella is gradually proving why he is coach Luis De La Fuente’s number one choice at left-back, not any other star.

In a sublime day of competition, Cucurella completely turned off Federico Chiesa. Italy’s number 14 did not have any successful passes during 64 minutes on the field.

Meanwhile, Cucurella almost won all the matches that required competition. Specifically, Cucurella won 10/13 duels (Sofascore).

He also had 5 accurate tackles, 4 clearances and 2 successful cuts.

In terms of аttаck, Cucurella creates a greater impact. It’s amazing that the Chelsea defender completed all 51 passes accurately. In addition, he also possesses 3 passes to create opportunities for his teammates.

Unfortunately, on a day when Spain’s strikers appeared ungainly, Cucurella’s passes were not once converted into “assists”.

However, from a climb from the left wing, Spain got the only goal of the match when Riccardo Calafiori scored an own goal.

The duo Nico Williams and Cucurella are creating an interesting connection on the left wing of the Spain national team.

Once they are in “form”, Spain will be even stronger.
