1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain:
“It’s obvious that the Spanish national (soccer) team has earned its place as a crowd favorite. And I think it’s important to celebrate and congratulate a team of players who have shown true teamsmanship. This means solidarity, exhibiting a team’s mentality, not just for the individual player – although it’s clear that the quality of many of the players is extraordinary. And we are wishing them the best. As I said yesterday on social media, the entire country is behind you. All of Spain is incredibly proud of our national team. And, of course, we are hopeful that next Sunday we will become European champions.”
