Ferran Torres explains 'Make Spain Great Again' hat after World Cup Final win

Spain’s World Cup winner Ferran Torres said he had no political intent when he was photographed wearing a red “Make Spain Great Again” hat during the team’s celebrations in front of the president. Torres scored the only goal as Spain beat Lionel Messi’s Argentina to win a second tournament title. In comments to CNN, he said it was simply “to have a bit of fun” with friends and family and that he “doesn’t know anything about politics,” adding he wanted Spain back on top lifting the trophy. The White House’s official X account posted, “Everyone wants to be part of the movement.” The president’s attendance at MetLife Stadium also drew jeers during the medal ceremony. Separately, Torres is linked with potential moves this summer from Barcelona, with reports connecting him to Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.
