A video has surfaced on social media, causing outrage among football fans, particularly Argentinians, depicting a Spanish airline pilot allegedly making a misleading announcement about the 2026 World Cup final. The incident occurred as passengers, many of whom were Argentinian, eagerly awaited the outcome of the match between Argentina and Spain.

The pilot's announcement began with suspense, describing the match as hard-fought and going into extra time. He then stated, "The two teams gave their all, but the final of a World Cup, unfortunately, only one can win... From here we wanted to congratulate our Argentine compatriots." This statement was interpreted by the Argentinian passengers as a confirmation that their team had won the championship, leading to an explosion of joy, with hugs, tears, and shouts of emotion filling the cabin.
