After the party in Cibeles, the players of the Spanish National Team passed by the microphones of 'El Partidazo de COPE' and shared gems like Cucurella's 'new baby' or Ferran Torres' 'I don't remember'.
Marc Cucurella carried the World Cup under his arm as if it were a newborn. “Here, our new baby”, joked the defender in front of the microphones of 'El Partidazo de COPE' right after the spectacular celebration in the Cibeles square in Madrid. The 26 heroes who secured the second star for Spain spoke to communicators Ángel García and Arancha Rodríguez before getting on the bus.
Euphoria unleashed among the champions
Álex Grimaldo confessed that he still hadn't processed the victory:
“I think I haven't processed it yet, because it's something that happens suddenly and it's incredible, it's something historic.”Ferran Torres, the author of the goal that gave the title to Spain, was asked about his goal and responded with laughter: “I don't remember”.
The euphoria was the general tone. Fabián Ruiz assured that the “crazy” celebration has even surpassed that of the Euro Cup and jokingly warned:
“It's a fine for the first one to go home.”Others, like Eric García, made it clear that the night had only just begun:
“The party is not over yet.”And he set his sights on the next challenge: “The Champions”.
A trophy for an entire country
The players also kept in mind the millions of fans who supported them. Dani Olmo reflected:
“A lot of happiness, the happiness of a country, right? We can make a lot of people happy.”An idea shared by Mikel Merino, one of the last to leave the party for stopping to sign autographs:
“We won this, but it's for them.”
David Raya described the moment as “a dream come true”, while Borja Iglesias, who acted as DJ during the parade, and Víctor Muñoz also expressed their joy. The technical director, Aytor, summed up the group's feelings by calling the experience of 52 days of togetherness “incredible” and thanked the fans for their support:
“Even though we were very far away, we felt very close, and this is theirs.”
The celebration in Cibeles gathered thousands of fans who packed the centre of Madrid to cheer on the world champions. The open-top bus toured the main streets of the capital, with the players singing and dancing non-stop. The residents of the Community of Madrid enjoyed a historic day that will be etched in the collective memory.
For those who missed it, the hangover from the party continues on social media, where players share videos and photos of the event. The Spanish National Team returns to their clubs after a 52-day camp, but the mark of the World Cup is already indelible. The next big challenge, as Eric García pointed out, will be the Champions League, although for now it's time to savour the victory.
