Spain defender Marc Cucurella delivered a cheeky response to Gary Neville after Spain’s victory over England in the Euro 2024 final. The thrilling final saw Spain triumph over England at Berlin‘s Olympiastadion, with Mikel Oyarzabal‘s late winner securing the championship.

Cucurella, a key player for Spain throughout the tournament, had faced criticism from Neville earlier, who doubted Spain’s chances due to Cucurella’s presence in the team. Neville’s comments added a bit of spice to the showdown between the two nations.

The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Spain after Cole Palmer‘s goal levelled the score following Nico Williams‘ opener. The win marked Spain’s first European Championship triumph since 2012, sparking jubilation among players and fans alike.

Following the win, Chelsea left-back Cucurella took to Instagram to fire back at Neville. Responding to Neville’s initial doubts about his abilities, Cucurella posted a message thanking Neville for the unintended motivation, showcasing his resilience and determination.
