Chelsea fullback Marc Cucurella joked that he would face relegation to the international wilderness if he did not behave himself when coming up against Lamine Yamal’s Barcelona in the league phase of this season’s Champions League.
Cucurella scored his first goal for Spain in a 3–0 thumping of Bulgaria dominated by Yamal’s brilliance on Thursday. The teenage sensation enjoyed another decisive display in Sofia, playing a role in all three goals as the reigning European champions continued their march through World Cup qualifying.
