Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico, was presenting the Ballon d’Or trophy to Rodrigo Hernández Cascante of the Spanish national team after the FIFA World Cup 2026 final. Everything seemed like normal protocol: presidents, football legends, cameras pointed at the champion.
But someone zoomed in on the background of the image.
There, among dark suits, a face appeared that did not fit in: strange proportions in the neck and head, a fixed gaze that seemed out of place amid the celebration.
The screenshots began to circulate, and the question was repeated thousands of times: who is that person and why do they look like that? No one from the official protocol gave any explanations. 👽
