Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 at MetLife Stadium and were crowned champions of the 2026 World Cup. Up to that point, everything was normal protocol. The problem started afterward.
Donald Trump, 80, presented the trophy alongside Gianni Infantino and stayed standing there, as if he were also part of the squad. Not even the stadium’s boos moved him an inch. It took Rodri, the Spanish captain and newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner, giving him a little nudge on the shoulder for him to give up the spotlight. Infantino ended up taking him by the arm to escort him away from center stage, like someone removing a guest who can’t take a hint 😅
It is not the first time: in 2025 he did exactly the same thing in the Club World Cup final with Chelsea. Meanwhile, Messi cried after receiving the runners-up medal, and on social media nobody was talking about Spain’s goal — everyone was commenting on the man who did not want to step down from the podium.
