16 years later, the Spanish national team was able to lift the most precious trophy in the world of football, the World Cup, to the sky. After the celebrations on the pitch at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the Spanish delegation took a flight from Newark International Airport at 2:00 AM in New Jersey that landed this Monday, specifically at 2:35 PM at Adolfo Suárez Airport in 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 President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Sunday, shortly after La Roja’s victory over Argentina (1-0) in the 2026 World Cup final, that “there are no tensions” with Spain and that the relations between both countries are going through a good moment.
The same habits as always. And the same mindset, as strong as overwhelming. This is how Ferran Torres faced this World Cup. And, just like Andrés Iniesta was in 2010, he became the hero of the final against Argentina by scoring the goal that allowed Spain to win the second star in its history.
Spain is world champion and on ‘Hay Mundial’ we live the historic conquest of the Spanish national team live. We analyze the final, review the best plays, the reactions of the protagonists, and the impact of a victory that is already part of football history.
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.
He did it in the Club World Cup final and wanted to do it again in the World Cup final. The US president, Donald Trump, could not be the protagonist in the champions’ photo of the Spanish national team, after Manchester City midfielder and La Roja captain Rodri Hernández prevented the North American leader from standing in front of the champion squad during the trophy presentation.
A deafening boo united Argentine and Spanish fans for a few seconds last night. It happened at the moment when the presidents of the United States and FIFA, Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino, came down from the VIP box to present the trophy to Spain. The broadcast had avoided showing the president throughout the match, but it couldn’t dodge that bullet. The president and Infantino handed the World Cup to Rodri, the best player of the tournament. Unlike last summer at the Club World Cup, Trump stepped aside and did not steal the spotlight from the Spanish players, a country he has repeatedly disrespected over the past year.
The euphoria of the Spanish players during the World Cup trophy presentation was marred by an ugly gesture from the Argentine team, who chose not to watch or applaud their rival, setting a bad example of fair play. Instead, the Albiceleste decided to turn their backs on the champions as they celebrated on the podium with the trophy, appearing downcast by the match result.
After some controversial semifinals, marked by historical tensions between both nations, and with a bitter ending for England, the British press celebrates this Monday the victory of the Spanish team against Argentina in the World Cup final.
