According to Marca, Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón analyzed Argentina's playing style ahead of the final, believing they might adopt a similar approach to Uruguay's.

Simón recalled the previous match against Uruguay, describing it as the most difficult one where Spain struggled to impose their own style of play. "We have always tried to maintain a certain game plan and tactical setup," Simón stated. "The match against Uruguay was probably the most challenging for us because it was a tough, physical game with many fouls, and the rhythm was frequently disrupted."

He expects a similar scenario against Argentina and emphasized that Spain must be prepared to adapt without abandoning their identity. "We believe the match against Argentina will be like this too, and we must be prepared for it, approaching it with the same mentality."

The Spanish international also highlighted mental strength as a key factor in such high-intensity matches. In Simón's view, even if the game becomes difficult, Spain must have the resilience to fight back. "If the game takes an unexpected turn and we fall behind, we must also have the ability and confidence to mount a comeback."

He cited Argentina's demonstrated resilience throughout the tournament as an example, but also stressed that Spain needs to prove its hunger for victory. "Argentina has already proven this during the World Cup, and if it's our turn, I think we must show that we are a team eager to win the championship."
