Pablo Fornals’ complete jubilation at scoring for Spain, on his full debut, was clear for all to see as the West Ham player exploded with joy.
He’s getting a lot of coverage across the Spanish media today, with his celebration taking multiple front pages. There’s a positive feeling around Spain’s young squad at the moment, as Luis Enrique looks to build a new successful era for the national team.
Beating Kosovo 2-0 on Wednesday evening, Spain are in an excellent position to qualify for the World Cup. Greece’s 2-1 victory over Sweden has helped that, and Thursday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo has a front page shouting ‘Muchas Grecias’.
Over at AS, they carry some comments Fornals made after the Spain match.
Asked how he thought his family would be feeling having watched the match, Fornals said: “If I’m happy, imagine them. I know they must feel immense joy.”
West Ham and David Moyes can now look forward to welcoming back a very happy player, and one who will be determined to keep his place in the Spain squad.
