Real Madrid star Marc Cucurella has this weekend provided his take on what he feels is the key difference between football in England and Spain.
Defender Cucurella of course boasts first-hand experience at the top level in both the Premier League and La Liga, having lined out for the likes of Getafe, Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea.
This past summer, the 28-year-old secured a return to his home country, swapping Chelsea for the famed white of Real Madrid.
Cucurella, considered one of world football’s best in his role, has excelled in both countries, owing to his technical, tactical and physical excellence alike.
Speaking during an interview with COPE this weekend, though, the World Cup winner was asked to name the key difference between English and Spanish football.
And Cucurella, as cited by journalist Fabrizio Romano, went on to explain:
“La Liga is more technical than the Premier League. The Premier League is more physical.”
