'The Star That Unites Us': Marc Cucurella & Joan Capdevila

Following the insightful football conversation between Luis de la Fuente and Vicente del Bosque — Spain's current head coach and the manager who guided the national team to FIFA World Cup glory in South Africa in 2010 — The Star That Unites Us returns with its second episode, once again bringing together a world champion and a European champion with ambitions of conquering the world stage in North America.

In this podcast, sponsored by Google Gemini, Joan Capdevila sits down with Marc Cucurella, two of the finest left-backs in the history of Spanish football. Capdevila, who earned 60 caps for Spain, lifted the UEFA European Championship in Austria and Switzerland in 2008 before becoming a FIFA World Cup winner at Soccer City in Johannesburg in 2010. Cucurella, meanwhile, has made 23 appearances for the national team and was part of Spain's victorious UEFA European Championship campaign in Germany in 2024.

Enjoy this entertaining and insightful conversation between two iconic figures of the Spanish national team, both of whom have played key roles in some of the most successful and memorable eras in the history of La Roja.

Spain continue their preparations for the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. The national team will travel to North America aiming to secure a second world title and add another chapter to its proud history.
