The Straits Times|November 20, 2024
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente was an emotional man after Bryan Zaragoza won and converted a late penalty to help his Euro 2024 winners beat Switzerland 3-2 in a Nations League dead rubber on Nov 18.
Spain finish 2024 on a high with Tenerife treat

The Nations League holders, already guaranteed top spot in Group A4, twice took the lead but were pegged back by the already-relegated Swiss at Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez Stadium in Tenerife, which hosted a first Spain match on the island in 28 years.

"I'm proud to be Spanish, to have a fan base like the one in Tenerife and to experience the national team the way we are experiencing it," said de la Fuente.

"I am extremely proud of the players, they are insatiable. They always want to improve and grow, and so I am proud to lead a national team like ours."
