Yamal also analyzed the current state of the World Cup and highlighted that several of the teams considered favorites were eliminated prematurely, a scenario that boosts the expectations of the Spanish squad.

The winger was emphatic when referring to the possibilities of winning the tournament and stated that he does not see any rival clearly superior.

"I believe that we are going to win the World Cup because I don't see a team that is better than us," he asserted, making it clear the confidence that prevails within the squad before the start of the knockout rounds.
