Marc Cucurella experienced his first day as a Real Madrid player this Monday. The Spaniard successfully passed his medical examination before completing his first training session with the team. The World Cup winner also spoke to Real Madrid TV, expressing his excitement about beginning this new chapter of his career.

"I'm very happy; it's been a long wait. It's been a long journey, but I'm finally here," Cucurella said.

The defender then reflected on the significance of joining Real Madrid: "Today I trained with my teammates and met everyone. I'm looking forward to getting to know them all little by little. It's an honor; few people can say they've worn this shirt. It's a club with a rich history, the biggest in Europe, and being here is a privilege, an honor, and a reward for my entire career. The welcome has been very warm. It's been a tough day, but I've already gotten a feel for things."

Cucurella also described his first meeting with José Mourinho: "He exudes confidence, he's very natural. He tells us to do what we know how to do on the pitch. Together we'll strive to make it a great year."

The Spanish international explained why he didn't hesitate when the opportunity to join Real Madrid arose: "It's very difficult to turn down the opportunity to play for a club like this. The opportunity came up and I didn't hesitate."

Cucurella also spoke about his desire to experience the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu as a Real Madrid player: "As a spectator, I've seen those magical nights at the Bernabéu, all those Champions League titles. I want to experience it firsthand. It's a big responsibility but also a wonderful challenge. I'm eager to play our first home game. I've come here to play as a visitor and with the national team. I want to hear the anthem, the fans from the bus."
