Richarlison did not even set foot in the 2026 World Cup. Brazil left him out of Ancelotti’s squad and the Seleção fell to Norway in the round of 16. But when Ferran Torres scored the goal that gave Spain the trophy over Argentina, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the Tottenham forward threw himself to the floor in front of the TV as if he had scored it himself.
The video was recorded by his partner, Amanda Araujo, and it captured everything: jumps, shouts, and a “well done, lad” dedicated to Ferran Torres 🇪🇸. The celebration came just as his Tottenham teammate, Argentine Cuti Romero, watched the Albiceleste lose at the worst possible moment.
Social media was divided between Brazilian laughter and Argentine anger, but no one could avoid commenting on the scene 👀⚽. Richarlison already had a history of provoking Argentina — and this time, even without playing, he found a way not to stay out of the controversy.
