Marc Cucurella has praised Arda Guler, said Real Madrid are Europe's best team and spoken about Vinicius Junior's form in an interview with Spanish radio station Cope.
What he said about Madrid
Cucurella told the programme 'Tiempo de Juego' that he would pick Guler as Madrid's best player.
He said the obvious names would be Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham or Thibaut Courtois, but added: 'I want to mention someone who has gone under the radar. When Arda plays, we play differently. I love him.'
The former Chelsea defender also said Madrid's recent El Clasico win showed their level. 'We won and I played well. That's it,' he said.
Vinicius and Mourinho
On Vinicius Junior, Cucurella said Madrid would be 'unstoppable' if the Brazil winger returned to his best form. He added that Vinicius looks good in training and is happy, but is not finding his top level at the moment.
Cucurella also said a dip in form can happen to any player, pointing to his own difficult first six months at Chelsea.
He ended by revealing that Jose Mourinho sent him an edited image of himself with the Portuguese coach's face tattooed on his chest.
