Spain's World Cup triumph fuels celebratory posts from Llorente and Gavi
Midfielder Marcos Llorente marked Spain's 2026 World Cup victory with a photo of an ultra‑rare Château Rayas Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape Réserve 2014, a French wine valued at more than €1,000 per bottle. The wine, produced in the Rhône Valley from Grenache grapes, is a coveted collector's item, and Llorente shared it on social media alongside teammate Ferran Torres.
Twenty‑one‑year‑old midfielder Gavi also posted an emotional message after the final, pairing a childhood photo from his hometown of Los Palacios with an image of himself kissing the trophy on the MetLife Stadium pitch. He thanked his family, his early club La Liara Balompié, and Barcelona's La Masia for their support, and recalled the injuries he endured during the tournament. The celebrations were briefly marred by on‑field tensions after the whistle, with several players, including Gavi, involved in a scuffle.
Both posts highlight the personal and cultural ways Spain's players commemorated the historic 1‑0 win over Argentina that secured the nation's first World Cup title since 2010.
