Spain secured a victory over Serbia in their first match of 2026, highlighted by Victor Munoz’s remarkable debut. The 22-year-old forward, playing for Osasuna, scored just ten minutes after being introduced by head coach Luis de la Fuente at La Ceramica.

Munoz expressed his gratitude towards his teammates and coach, emphasizing the supportive environment:

• “I am very grateful to my teammates and the coach. Everything went well.”
• “They make it very easy for you. They have helped me from the first moment.”

The young striker also recounted the moment of his goal, crediting Ferran Torres for the assist:

• “I was asking for the ball. It was a complicated pass, but he saw me and I am grateful for the pass.”

Reflecting on his journey, Munoz acknowledged the challenges he faced, particularly a missed opportunity in El Clasico that could have shifted the game's outcome to a 4-4 draw. He addressed the media post-match, viewing this setback as part of his growth:

• “It is a matter of time before everything arrives with perseverance and work. It was something I couldn’t control, but these are things of the past.”
• “It’s part of a process, no one gets to the top already taught, you have to go through difficult moments.”

Munoz credited Osasuna for providing him with the platform to develop and embrace his potential.
