Spain’s World Cup victory celebration has taken its toll on Rosalía. The Catalan singer has been forced to publicly apologize after a post shared on her social media unleashed a wave of criticism among her Argentine followers, who interpreted the gesture as a mockery towards the Albiceleste team after their defeat in the final.
The players and staff of the Spanish National Team experienced an unforgettable day this past Monday. After winning their second World Cup against Argentina, La Roja was received by the Kings and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, at the Palacio de la Zarzuela and, subsequently, moved to La Moncloa to meet with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
“You have won with gallantry; when Spain plays, we all play. You have fought for it, with head and heart, and you have achieved it.” With these words, the King has congratulated the players of the Spanish national football team who, this Monday, have begun hours of celebration that continue at the Moncloa, where Pedro Sánchez receives them, and will culminate in the Plaza de Cibeles, after the parade through the streets of Madrid.
Four coins like four suns. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, gave the Kings, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía some golden pieces that commemorate the terms of the 45th and 47th President of the United States, that is, himself. Not to be outdone, the King reciprocated to the American leader with a commemorative coin of his reign minted by the Royal National Mint and Stamp Factory. The meeting between Trump and the royal family, and the subsequent exchange of gifts, took place on Saturday at the MetLife Stadium facilities in New Jersey, shortly before the start of the match that the Spanish team played against Argentina.
The Kings, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía will receive the champions this afternoon at the Zarzuela. Barely twenty hours after sharing their joy on the same turf of the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the royal family will formally congratulate them before the Spanish team, after passing through Moncloa, tours the streets of Madrid.
Sixteen years after the South Africa World Cup changed their lives forever, Shakira and Gerard Piqué have crossed paths again at a World Cup. The Colombian singer and the former footballer were present this Sunday at the grand final between Spain and Argentina held at the New York New Jersey Stadium, although they did so from very different places and without any public reunion.
In the very own style of the United States, the expression “never seen before” is repeated ahead of the World Cup final this Sunday in New Jersey.
The performance of Ignatius Farray in Vitoria ended up becoming a night to remember for reasons very different from those expected. The Canarian comedian suffered a spectacular fall from the stage of the Teatro Félix Petite in Vitoria while performing El show de Ignatius, an accident that required him to be taken to the hospital. Despite the hard hit, he decided to complete the show before being treated and, hours later, downplayed what happened with one of his usual ironies.
Elsa Pataky (Madrid, 1976) was not content with being the pretty face of Al salir de clase. Daughter of a Spanish biochemist and a Romanian advertiser, she experienced the fortune of a childhood with two cultures and the sorrow of her parents’ separation at four years old. The surname she uses was taken from her maternal grandmother, and the vocation of her life, from her grandfather, the Romanian actor Mircea Medianu. She combined her ambition as an actress with a plan B and studied Journalism at CEU San Pablo University while training in Dramatic Arts.
Felipe de Borbón has witnessed the two great triumphs of the Spanish national football team. Still Prince of Asturias, he attended at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg (South Africa) where on July 19, 2010, Spain was crowned world champion, and on July 14, 2024, at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, already King, he celebrated La Roja’s victory in the Eurocup. This Saturday, together with Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía, the King travels to New York, with the desire to share, once again, a triumph of Spain that, this Sunday, faces Argentina in the final of the World Cup 26.
