Marc Cucurella: Real Madrid, best in Europe, little football
Marc Cucurella says that Real Madrid is currently the best team in Europe, while admitting that he “watch little football” in an interview with radio Cope. He said that his lack of interest does not diminish his admiration for the club.
The Spanish left‑back of Real Madrid had arrived with the Spanish national team to face the Czech Republic on Thursday and England on Sunday in the Nations League. He thus traveled with the national squad before giving his interview.
When asked about the best club team in Europe, he immediately replied: “As of today, Real Madrid is the best team in Europe. We are on a very good run and the team is very focused.” He highlighted the collective concentration of the Madrid side.
Real Madrid are on a streak of eight consecutive wins across all competitions. This run illustrates the club’s current form.
Competition and upcoming challenges
The recent successes of Paris Saint‑Germain, the reigning double European champion, against Manchester City and FC Barcelona in the Champions League have dazzled the football world. These performances have highlighted the continent’s competitiveness.
Cucurella acknowledged that Paris also has a very good team, but that he does not watch their matches. He clarified that his lack of observation does not call into question Paris’s quality.

He added: “I’m not going to lie to you.” This sentence confirms his frankness.
Regarding FC Barcelona, he said he does not follow them either, specifying that it is not due to lack of interest but because he has other commitments, such as spending time with his children. He thus justified his lack of interest in the Catalan club.
He nevertheless emphasized that the Parisians are very good and have many quality players, but for now, it is Real Madrid that dominates. This observation puts the Madrid club at the forefront of the debate.
In La Liga, Barça are three points behind Real Madrid. The table reflects the current gap between the two teams.
Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo when the international break ends on November 21. This match will be the club’s first post‑pause test.
All eyes are already on the Champions League clash against Arsenal, the Premier League leaders, which will be played at the Emirates Stadium on December 9. This match represents Real Madrid’s next major European challenge.
