The Mexican coach, known as El Vasco, expressed satisfaction with the overall performance of the team, highlighting that the match at Estadio Azteca was a demanding test. "It wasn't easy because we had Portugal in front of us," he added. For Javier Aguirre, this game represented the "final test to choose the final list," and he was pleased with the individual responses from the players. However, the Mexican coach revealed that the squad is not yet finalized due to injuries. "I think I have 80 percent of the list. If everyone were healthy, I would say 'It's all done,' but we have to wait. Bad news is coming with the players' injuries, and I still don't have my list defined," he explained.
