Spanish PM: 'Second World Cup star is within reach'

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is optimistic that the national football team will soon secure its second World Cup title, stating that "the second star is about to fall." He conveyed this conviction during an event in La Línea de la Concepción, linking the nation's football aspirations to the opportunities and excitement of a new era.

Sánchez drew parallels between the demolition of the border fence separating La Línea from Gibraltar and the national team's journey. He highlighted the widespread enthusiasm generated by Spain's 2-0 victory over France in the World Cup semifinals on Tuesday. This win propelled the team, managed by Luis de la Fuente, into the final.

“

I have no doubt that we will achieve it this Sunday.

"Thanks to our team for making us vibrate, for making us dream, and let's hope, hopefully, that the second star is about to fall," Sánchez stated, expressing his firm belief in Spain's ability to win the upcoming final. The team is set to compete against either Argentina or England, who are facing each other in the other semifinal match.

The final is scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 19, at the MetLife Stadium in New York. Sánchez's remarks reflect the palpable excitement and national pride surrounding the team's performance in the tournament.
