David Raya narrowly avoids dangerous medal accident during Spain celebrations

David Raya narrowly avoided a dangerous medal accident during Spain’s celebrations after winning the World Cup. The Arsenal goalkeeper’s gold medal became tangled in the goal net following the final whistle. Ferran Torres scored Spain’s only goal in the 106th minute, preventing Argentina from defending their title. As the party started, Raya climbed the posts to celebrate and snipped off remaining netting as a memento. When he tried to come back down, the medal ribbon tightened and left him hanging briefly, but he freed it and safely returned to the pitch. The 30-year-old then laughed off the incident. Spain had created the better chances, while Argentina’s Enzo Fernandez was sent off moments before extra time, and the champions completed a double after their European success under Luis de la Fuente.
