🚨 Nicolas Tagliafico: "I don’t want this to sound like excuses, but we reached the final physically and mentally exhausted. Spain played very well and deserved to win. We played badly."
"The pitch for the final was bad. MetLife was dry. It was so hot, and we played early because of television-related factors.”
"We have to remember that spirit, the way we never stopped trying. It was crazy. Against Egypt, I thought we were in serious trouble. I was like, ‘What now?’ But we had that resilience to keep going, maybe without doing anything spectacular, but with heart. Going through every match like that takes so much out of you.”
