Gary Neville had identified Spain's Marc Cucurella as one of his team's poor connections.
Spain left-back Marc Cucurella enjoyed feeding Gary Neville his own thoughts as he celebrated his country's Euro 2024 defeat.
Neville, a former England and Manchester United sun, claimed earlier this summer that he thought Cucurella's existence in the club indicated a squad weakness that would prevent Spain from winning the Euros.
But, the Chelsea full-back teed up Mikel Oyarzabal to score Spain's late winner against England in the final on Sunday, moving up the left side and playing a fantastic lower game that the substitute slid in.

Taking into Instagram after Spain's triumph over England, but, Cucurella posted a significantly reworked version of Neville's comments, adding the comment:" We went all the way Gary. Thanks for your support". Those comments were followed by these icon: dark heart, prize, Spain flag, kissy experience.
Cucurella started all but one of Spain's games as they maintained a 100 % record throughout Euro 2024, getting a sleep in their last team stage match against Albania with Luis de la Fuente's part now assured of finishing best of their group.
