Last update: 5 hours agoWorld Cup Triumph, Madrid Return: Spain’s 2026 World Cup win over Argentina (1-0 after extra time, Ferran Torres) is already turning into a national homecoming story, with the squad landing in Madrid Monday and a royal reception at Zarzuela Palace followed by an open-top bus parade and a huge Cibeles Square show expected to draw around a million fans. Player Awards: Rodri capped the night by winning the Golden Ball, while Unai Simón took the Golden Glove and Pau Cubarsí was named best young player—denying Lionel Messi any extra individual trophies.
