🥊 Porro and Grimaldo at La VELADA VI: I'd fight Cucurella in the ring | OneFootball

Footballers Alejandro Grimaldo and Pedro Porro, recently crowned world champions with the Spanish national team, became the guest stars of La Velada del Año VI at La Cartuja. During the event, both full-backs provided humorous moments and reflections on their historic achievement.

Jokes in the ring and the Cucurella target

When asked which teammate they would face in a hypothetical boxing match for the next edition of the tournament, both laughingly agreed on the same name: Marc Cucurella. In addition, Grimaldo pointed to young Gavi as the Spain player who would put on the best show inside the ring.

World Cup success and mental health

Beyond the jokes, the players looked back on Spain’s second World Cup triumph. Grimaldo described the feat as "a unique feeling that will stay forever," while Porro emphasized the disciplined journey taken to overcome difficult moments.

The new Atlético de Madrid wing-back also took the opportunity to highlight the key role of emotional stability in elite sport: "The mental aspect is more important than the physical; without mental strength, these achievements are not possible," he concluded.
