Hundreds of Spanish fans and their Mexican sympathizers erupted in celebration at the Cibeles fountain in Mexico City, marking Spain's triumphant victory in the 2026 World Cup. The jubilant atmosphere saw supporters chanting and embracing after Spain clinched their second World Cup title.

The decisive moment came with a 1-0 win over Argentina, thanks to a crucial goal from Ferran Torres. The match, held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, concluded with Spain adding a second star to their jersey, a feat not achieved since their 2010 victory in South Africa.

The celebration centered around the Cibeles fountain in the Roma neighborhood, a replica of the iconic fountain in Madrid. This location has become a symbolic gathering spot for Spanish football fans, mirroring the celebrations in Spain whenever teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona achieve major victories.

Supporters, many clad in Spain's 'La Roja' jerseys, shared the joy of victory. Amidst the Spanish fans, some wore Mexico's green and Argentina's white and sky blue, reflecting the diverse crowd that gathered to witness the final. While Spanish fans reveled in their team's success, Argentine supporters were left to contemplate their team's third-place finish in World Cup history, having won in 1978, 1986, and 2022.

He who doesn't jump is Argentine, he who doesn't jump is Argentine!
