Marc Cucurella names Real Madrid the best team in Europe

On November 10, 2026, Real Madrid defender Marc Cucurella stated during an appearance on the COPE radio show 'El Partidazo' that his club is currently the best team in Europe. The Spanish international expressed confidence in his squad, citing their recent strong performance run and high levels of focus as the primary reasons for his assessment.

Responding to questions from host Juanma Castano regarding competition from Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning two-time European champions, Cucurella acknowledged the French side's quality and long-term project. However, he admitted that he does not actively watch their matches, including their recent performance against Barcelona, due to personal commitments and time spent with his family.

This public declaration comes shortly after Real Madrid faced significant scrutiny following a period of poor form several weeks ago. The club has since managed to improve its competitive standing and on-field chemistry, leading to a resurgence in confidence among the players. No further official club responses or upcoming fixtures related to these comments were mentioned.
