Mundo Deportivo AS Newspaper Player Ratings Spain vs Cape Verde 2026- Cucurella, Gavi & others

Here is a look at the Spanish and European newspaper player ratings for Spain vs Cape Verde following their 0-0 draw. Spain dominated xG and total shots (74% possession and nearly 4x as many shots), but could not find a way past Vozinha in the Cabo Verde goal.

The Spanish newspaper had Chelsea (soon to be Real Madrid) left back Marc Cucurella as the pick of the Spanish players (Cucu was the only player to get 2 stars when the rest had to be content with a 1 star), and thought Fabian Ruiz and Gavi’s performances didn’t even merit a rating.

Arsenal medio Mikel Merino with a single star off the bench, but no player on either side got 3 stars for their performance.

Spain didn’t really create too many high xG chances- their best chance of the game was probably the double opportunity that fell to Ferran Torres (hit crossbar) and Oyarzabal (header saved by Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha) in the 39th minute.

Only 7 of Spain’s 27 total shots were on target.

As stunning as it sounds, despite defending for most of the game, Cape Verde committed only 1 foul in the whole game (Spain committed 10 fouls by comparison)
