Spain Celebrates Double World Cup Glory | Global News

Spain’s men’s soccer team just won the World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 in New Jersey — their second title ever, the first back in 2010. The squad, 26 players strong, arrived home to royal welcome and a meet-and-greet with the Prime Minister, before cruising Madrid’s streets on an open-top bus, cheered by hundreds of thousands. This triumph follows Spain’s Women’s World Cup win last year, making them the first nation to hold both titles simultaneously. The victory has ignited nationwide celebration — flags, horns, flares, and a joyous contrast to the economic turmoil of 14 years ago. But amid the euphoria, tragedy struck: a 13-year-old died in Salamanca after climbing a fountain to celebrate. For many young Spaniards, this is their first taste of such collective euphoria, already lining up near Cibeles Square, braving the heat with umbrellas and water.
