Coello on Galán: "Due to the injury, he won't be able to be there, and we have to think positively. If he's not the best, he's one of the best we have on the team. He was a key piece and contributed a lot to us as a team"

Spain’s padel team secured their fourth consecutive world title as champions at the Kuwait Major, defeating Libaak and Alfonso in a hard-fought semifinal victory. Head coach Arturo Coello and captain Agustín Tapia reflected on the triumph, which solidified their dominance ahead of the upcoming World Padel Championship, where Spain and Argentina are heavy favorites to claim the title on November 7.

The absence of star player Ale Galán, however, looms large due to injury, forcing the team to adjust their lineup. Coello acknowledged Galán’s irreplaceable impact, calling him one of the team’s best players and a key contributor, while noting that Javi Leal will step in to fill the void.

Despite the setback, Juanjo Gutiérrez’s squad remains stacked with depth, ensuring Galán’s absence can be managed without compromising their title chances.
