The controversial Spanish journalist Josep Pedrerol delivered a fiery editorial before starting his program: “Today football won. You don’t win by talking, you win by playing”.
“Argentina… Spain is the champion. Second little star, we are better, long live Spain”, he concluded his on-air rant as a celebration after Spain’s second world title.
In a very heated buildup between Argentine and Spanish fans, Pedrerol’s rant was in keeping with the tone of his program and the atmosphere that had been generated ahead of the final.
