Jorge Valdano, world champion with Argentina of the Maradona era (1986), gave an interview to "TyC Sports", where he analyzed what is happening in this World Cup, in Qatar. The 67-year-old stopped at the role of the blue-and-white representative and the failure of Spain.

"Messi is showing the essence of football. He is more connected to people than ever and shows the character he always had. He is doing Maradona in this World Cup. I have been amazed by Messi since the first day I saw him. Messi has been a genius for 20 years. Whoever doesn't love Messi, doesn't love football," explained Valdano.

Regarding the semi-final against Croatia, he commented: "It is a team with great maturity." In addition, from the Croatians, Valdano appreciated above all Luka Modric: "He is a player that excites you when you see him".

Spain were eliminated by Morocco on penalty kicks in the round of 18, just as they were at the World Cup in Russia, a performance that has once again called into question the future of "La Rojas".

"Spain must review the football project. Tiki-taka was a blessed solution, but it died with a thousand passes here (referring to the Qatar World Cup) as it died with a thousand passes in Russia. Spain did not have players who make the difference and weigh in the opponent's area. Some footballers "fall in love" with passes on the side and do not risk so much. Maybe some of Spain's youngsters will become outstanding at the next World Cup."
