Pedro Porro: 'I'm exhausted but I'll give everything for the final'

Spain booked their place in the 2026 World Cup final after a hard-fought semifinal victory over France. After the match, La Roja defender Pedro Porro spoke about the emotional win and his physical condition ahead of the title decider. 'It feels like a dream come true. Honestly, I couldn't have dreamed of something like this. I'm so proud of the team's performance from start to finish. We knew France would be a tough opponent, and we executed our game plan perfectly. This is a team achievement, and I want to congratulate all my teammates for an incredible game,' Porro said. The full-back highlighted ball possession as one of the keys to success. 'We knew how to counter France's strengths, and we did exactly that. I'm really happy with how we controlled the game,' he added. Porro admitted he was completely spent by the final whistle. 'I was so tired I couldn't go on. But that's the same for everyone. Now I need to focus on recovery and see if I can be ready for the final. I'll do everything I can to be out there and give my all,' the Spanish defender stated. Spain will face the winner of the England-Argentina semifinal in the championship match, while France will take on the loser of that tie in the third-place playoff.
