After Spain won this FIFA World Cup, Oyarzabal was interviewed by Telemundo after the match.

What are your feelings at this moment?

We are very happy and also extremely proud of ourselves.

How many times have you pinched yourself? All your childhood dreams have come true, you are now a world champion.

I don't think we've fully realized it yet, it might take some time to completely believe it. But let's see when we get back to Madrid tomorrow, maybe then we'll slowly start to realize it.

Definitely. Champion, this is truly incredible. From the performance in the match, Spain was clearly better; in terms of spirit, you also seemed to have the upper hand. Congratulations.

Thank you. It was a very difficult match. They played their way, always waiting for opportunities. I think we performed better, and now everyone is very happy.

Could you briefly recap the course of the match? You performed better in the first half, so what exactly was said in the locker room at halftime to maintain that desire to win in the second half?

Actually, nothing special, just keep playing the same way. We knew we were doing the right thing, and a goal was only a matter of time. At the time, I felt we were performing better than them, we created more chances, and we also controlled the game well. I think being able to score in the end is the result of these performances.

What's next?

I don't know either. Now I feel... (laughs)

First stop is party, second stop is party, third stop is still party, is that right?

I hope so, I hope so. The next few days might be very crazy, but we are all happy.

Mikel, this generation of players has known each other since their time in Spain's youth teams, and the coach knows many of you. Is it easier for him to understand you? And is it smoother for you to understand and execute his philosophy, thus achieving such results?

Yes. I think many players in the team have played together for 10 or 12 years, often under the same coach. I think this is reflected not only on the field but also in daily interactions. Everyone can see that, beyond football, this team itself is also excellent, which helps a lot in such a long tournament. We are all very happy because we ultimately achieved the common goal.
