As Spain prepares to face Argentina in the World Cup final, former captain Cesar Azpilicueta emphasizes the team's unwavering collective strength and identity. He believes that simply continuing their established style of play, characterized by calmness and possession, is key to securing their second star. This confidence stems from their Euro 2024 victory, a 37-game unbeaten streak, and a decisive semi-final win against France.

Azpilicueta highlights Spain's consistent mentality, even when facing setbacks like their opening draw against Cape Verde or tight knockout matches. They maintain their approach, focusing on controlling the game with the ball. Remarkably, Spain has not trailed in any of their seven World Cup matches so far, a testament to their consistent performance and mental fortitude.

While acknowledging Argentina's threat, particularly Lionel Messi's form, and the quality of players like Julian Alvarez, Azpilicueta reiterates Spain's belief in their own system. He notes the attacking contributions of full-backs Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella, showcasing the team's well-rounded capabilities. Spain enters the final at their peak, ready to make their country proud.
