The White House published a tweet this Tuesday on the social network "X" commenting on one of the most controversial moments of the Spanish team during the World Cup.

Specifically, Trump's administration celebrated that Ferran Torres, the most applauded footballer of the World Cup for scoring the decisive goal in the final against Argentina, wore during the cup celebration in Madrid a red cap with the slogan "Make Spain great again", an adaptation of the slogan "Make America great again" popularized by the President of the United States, Donald Trump. "Everyone wants to be part of the movement," stated the White House publication in relation to the athlete's gesture.

Ferran was one of the most cheered footballers during the tour. The scorer of the decisive goal in extra time against Argentina saw thousands of fans chant his name after a World Cup in which he had received numerous criticisms for his performance before becoming the hero of the final. After the match, the forward defended his role, assuring that "destiny was written" and that "God gives things to those who deserve them most," referring to the criticisms received during the tournament.

The recognition also came from his teammates. At the final event in Cibeles square, captain Rodri Hernández defined him as "a player many times unfairly criticized" and asked the public for applause for the Barça attacker, who ended up being one of the great protagonists of the celebration.

Once the celebrations were over, Ferran Torres will enjoy a few days of vacation before joining Barça's preseason in mid-August. With only one year left on his contract, his future remains open: the club has not yet presented him with any renewal offer and his name remains linked to Luis Enrique's PSG.
