“The key is to treat each match as the most important one, as every game is about earning three points. Staying focused and preparing for the next match is vital as we assess our performance this season,” he stated.

Having scored five goals across all competitions this season, the Spain international has embraced his role as a crucial goal contributor. Cucurella is enjoying his recent scoring success and aims to keep making a difference on the pitch.

“I always strive to give my best for the team and put everything into each match to secure victories,” he remarked. “Scoring is very special for me. I have always believed I could enhance my performance in the final third by increasing my goals and assists. This season, I have been fortunate to find the net a few times,” he added.
