Carlos Valderrama: Daniel Muñoz says Colombia’s win was well deserved

Daniel Muñoz came away from Colombia’s latest victory with a simple verdict: it was deserved. The defender said the team played with intensity, controlled the match from start to finish and backed up the result with aggressive play.

That is why his name is drawing attention now, on Jun. 24, 2026, after Telemundo published his postmatch remarks. Muñoz tied the win to the energy on the field and to the support from the fans, making clear that he saw the result as the product of the whole side rather than one moment.

Muñoz put it plainly in Spanish: “el equipo jugó con intensidad y dominó durante todo el partido.” He then added that “la victoria fue bien merecida por la agresividad de juego de la selección colombiana y el apoyo de la afición.” Those lines matter because they frame the match not as a narrow escape but as a performance Colombia controlled from the opening stages.

What the report does not spell out is just as notable. It does not identify the opponent or give the score, even though it makes clear that Colombia dominated throughout. That leaves Muñoz’s comments focused on style and authority rather than the numbers on the board, and it keeps the emphasis on a team that, in his view, imposed itself and gave the fans reason to celebrate.

For Colombia, that makes the reaction almost as important as the result. Muñoz did not just praise a win; he shared it with the squad and the supporters, turning a postmatch quote into a statement about how the team wants to be seen: intense, aggressive and fully in command when it matters.
