Spanish World Cup hero Ferran Torres celebrated his team's victory on Monday by wearing a red hat emblazoned with "Make Spain Great Again." The slogan is an adaptation of former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign catchphrase.
Torres, who scored the winning goal in the 106th minute of the World Cup Final against Argentina, was seen wearing the hat during a victory parade in Madrid. Tens of thousands of fans welcomed the team home.
Torres posted an image on social media showing him on a vehicle during the parade, wearing the hat and without a shirt. The image captured him celebrating with fans.
Trump attended the World Cup Final match, which Spain won 1-0. He was present alongside First Lady Melania Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Trump presented the World Cup trophy to the Spanish team captain on the field after the match.
Spain's victory marks their second World Cup title, matching their 2010 win. The team's journey to the final saw them defeat Argentina in a closely contested match. Torres's decisive goal came after a cross into the box that he converted.
Following the on-field celebrations, the team returned to Spain to celebrate with supporters. The homecoming parade in Madrid was a large-scale event, marking the national team's achievement. The team is expected to return to their respective clubs in the coming months for the start of their seasons.
Reports indicate that FIFA will be investigating incidents of on-pitch altercations that occurred between players from Argentina and Spain after the final whistle. These altercations reportedly broke out on the field as the match concluded.
