Real Madrid left-back Marc Cucurella has asserted that the Spanish giants currently stand as the premier football club on the European continent. Cucurella completed a transfer to Real Madrid from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, arriving just prior to the commencement of the 2026 World Cup.
Reflecting on his new club's standing in international football, the Spanish defender expressed strong confidence in the squad's abilities. "In my opinion, Real Madrid is currently the best team in Europe," Cucurella stated during a recent media interaction.
What is it like playing under Jose Mourinho?
Addressing his experience working alongside manager Jose Mourinho, Cucurella highlighted the coach's approachable man-management style while emphasizing clear professional boundaries within the squad. "Mourinho is very close to us... He likes to talk to us and joke with us," he explained. "However, he's the boss, and we will always do whatever it is he says."
Real Madrid's current domestic standing places them second in the LaLiga table, trailing behind traditional rivals FC Barcelona as the club enters the November international break.
