🗣️ Ferran Torres:
“My goal is always to achieve greater things in football. When I look at players like Ronaldo, he always motivates me. He’s one of my idols. I always try to copy his mentality. He’s one of the greatest players of all time and a great inspiration for every young player.”
🚨 Roy Keane on Nico Williams disallowed goal against Argentina:
“I’ve just seen the biggest robbery of this World Cup. The ball comes into the box, nobody touches anybody, everyone goes up for it, then one Argentina player starts shouting. The next thing you know, two defenders are on the floor appealing,
Nico Williams has scored, and Emiliano Martinez … who wasn’t even touched… is somehow lying there as well asking for a foul.
The referee blows immediately. No VAR review. No replay. No check to see if there was actually any contact. Just disallowed. Apparently if enough Argentina players fall over at the same time, that’s now considered conclusive evidence.
If we’re being honest, Paredes shouldn’t even still be on the pitch after some of the tackles he’s made today. Yet somehow the only thing the referee managed to spot instantly was an invisible foul.”
🚨 “Absolute Nonsense — Everyone Knows Who the Best Was” — Jürgen Klopp on Golden Ball Debate
🎙️ Jürgen Klopp🗣️“I have to say, this is absolute nonsense. From the very start of the tournament, everyone knew who the top man was. It’s been the biggest talking point all through the World Cup.”
“I honestly don’t understand what Rodri did to deserve the Golden Ball ahead of Lionel Messi.”
“You’re talking about a 39-year-old player scoring 8 goals and giving 4 assists in a World Cup — outscoring players who are in their prime. That’s not normal, that’s special.”
“The only player who scored more was Kylian Mbappé, and we all know what level he is at.”
“But Messi — he was there in every important moment. Winning games, being decisive, man of the match performances, carrying his country all the way to another final.”
“And then you tell me he is not the best player of the tournament? For me, that is totally unfair.”
“Sometimes football gives you decisions you just cannot explain… and this is one of them.”
🚨 Marcos Llorente: “Some of the youngsters in the team aren't conscious about what we're doing: Pau, Lamine, Gavi, and Pedri... and that's better”.
“Today there wasn't any tension, and we were playing a World Cup final”.
Spain didn't trail a single minute this entire World Cup.
They join Italy 1938, Italy 1982 and Germany 1990 as the only teams to win the tournament without ever going behind 💪
🚨 Rodri On Facing Argentina:
Reporter:🎙️
Is Argentina the toughest team you ever faced throughout this World Cup tournament?
Rodri: 🗣️ Tough? I don’t think so but rather they thought it was wrestling and I wonder how they won the last World Cup, and I’m even surprised Messi plays like them.
🚨🗣️ Xavi: “I think everyone will realize Cristiano was right when he said Euros weighs the same as the World Cup. Europe top teams are just too difficult to withstand.”
🚨🗣️🎙 Rodri after winning the Golden Ball:
"I hope young players can learn from my journey. Even if your career takes a bad turn, you can always come back stronger."
🚨🎙️🗣️ Reporter: "Gavi, what did you say to Paredes that made him so furious?"
🇪🇸🗣️ Gavi: "I simply asked, 'Didn't Infantino answer your calls this time?' The moment I said that, he completely lost his head. He didn't even let me finish."
🗣️ Reporter: "What were you going to say?"
🇪🇸🗣️ Gavi: "That football finally beat corruption.
🗣️ Luis de la Fuente:
“I’m so happy we won the World Cup. This is the happiest day of my life, thanks to Ferran Torres’ goal. But we also need to talk about the VAR and the referee. I have never seen a bigger robbery in my coaching career than this. It looked like they wanted Argentina and Lionel Messi to win it again so badly.
The referee was practically Argentina’s 12th man on the pitch. In the first half, there were several fouls that he ignored, but the worst was the challenge on Dani Olmo. Mac Allister tackled him with both feet, which is a red-card offense, but the referee and VAR ignored it.
There was also the challenge on Yamal, where a player stepped on his ankle from behind. The referee ignored it, and VAR didn’t intervene either.
Argentina should be ashamed of receiving such favoritism in a World Cup final. They had the officials on their side, but we were fully prepared for everything. In the end, football won.”
🚨José Mourinho: "Spain didn't just win the World Cup they made the final boring for Argentina.
🗣️ José Mourinho
It was an incredible display from Spain. They didn't just win the World Cup, they controlled every important moment of the final. To be honest, they made it boring for me and for all of my friends supporting Argentina because there was never a moment when Spain looked like they were losing control.
The difference wasn't only technical quality it was discipline. Spain dominated possession, closed every passing lane and never allowed Argentina to play at the tempo they wanted. They respected Argentina, but they never feared them.
When a team can make the reigning world champions look ordinary in a World Cup final, that tells you everything. Spain deserved every bit of that victory. They were the better team from the first whistle to the last, and they showed why football is still won by the team that controls the game, not by the biggest names.
🚨🗣️ Sergio Ramos on Paredes and the Argentina players confronting Gavi:
“These are the kind of players I love playing against. They wouldn’t have tried that when I was playing for Spain.”
��🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan after Argentina lost the world cup final:
"If you notice, they tried their best to rob Spain but it didn't just work, they canceled Nico Williams goals for a foul they wouldn't have canceled if it was Argentina"
"I am very happy Spain won because they were the better team and they won over corruption. Football won today"
🚨 Luis de la Fuente: “Cucurella’s promise to tattoo my face? I told my players that they made a mistake promising to tattoo my face, because they are men of their word and they’ll do it.
I’m not that ugly anyways.” 🤣
😁🇪🇸 Marc Cucurella: “I need to think where do I get the tattoo of Luis de la Fuente now!”.
“I will do it visible! I’ll think about that during the flight to get back home”.
