Marc Pubill explains his tense exchange with a reporter after stepping in for Spain against England at Wembley and defending his performance.

Atlético Madrid defender Marc Pubill stepped into Spain's starting lineup at right-back against England at Wembley after Eric García experienced warm-up discomfort. Following the fixture, Pubill had a tense post-match exchange with a reporter in the mixed zone regarding an early passage of play involving England forward Anthony Gordon.
The journalist asked Pubill if an early moment where Gordon moved past him on the outside made him anticipate a difficult match. Pubill disputed the reporter's framing of the play, declined to concede the point, and stated that the encounter did not lead him to expect a tough evening.
