Marc Cucurella has declared Real Madrid the best team in Europe at the moment, while revealing the teammate who has impressed him most since joining the Spanish giants.

The defender made the comments during an interview with COPE’s El Partidazo programme, where he discussed Real Madrid’s recent performances and several of his teammates.

According to Cucurella, the team’s recent run of results has strengthened his belief that Los Blancos are currently ahead of other European clubs.

“In my opinion, we are currently the best team in Europe,” he said.

When asked whether Real Madrid were better than Paris Saint-Germain, Cucurella acknowledged the French club’s quality but admitted that he does not regularly watch their matches.

The defender also surprised some supporters when asked to name the best player in Real Madrid’s squad.

Rather than choosing familiar stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham or Thibaut Courtois, he singled out Arda Guler for special praise.

Cucurella explained that Guler brings quality to the team and helps improve their passing whenever he is on the pitch.

He described the Turkish midfielder as the player who had surprised him most at the club.

Cucurella also defended Vinicius Junior against criticism over his recent form, saying the Brazilian had performed at an exceptional level for years and deserved understanding during a difficult spell.

He added that Vinicius returning to his best level would make Real Madrid an even stronger side.

Real Madrid currently sit second in LaLiga behind Barcelona as the teams enter the November international break.
