Pedro Porro has solidified his place in the starting lineup for Spain at the 2026 World Cup, emerging as a vital component of Luis de la Fuente's tactical setup. The Tottenham defender, who began the tournament on the bench, has formed an increasingly dangerous right-flank partnership with Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal.
It's a matter of trust. With more matches and playing time together, you get used to it. Initially, it was harder because I play in England and not with him. You have to understand what he needs in every specific match. Pedro Porro
Porro revealed that their synergy is the result of constant communication on and off the pitch. By sharing information throughout matchdays, the duo ensures they remain synchronized against elite opposition, adjusting their positioning based on the game's flow.
Looking ahead, Spain faces a formidable semi-final challenge against France. Porro is fully aware of the threat posed by Kylian Mbappe and the French attacking line but insists that the team remains focused on their own performance.
They have one of the best attacks in the tournament. You have to be 200% concentrated because small details make the difference. We respect them, but we are one of the best teams too, and we need to do things perfectly to win. Pedro Porro
