20.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Spain Celebrated Its Second World Cup
⌨

The day was entirely dominated by Spain's World Cup victory celebrations. From early morning, headlines across all outlets focused on the 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina, with Ferran Torres's goal repeatedly framed as historic. The team's return to Madrid structured the news cycle: arrival at Barajas, reception at Zarzuela by the Royal Family, visit to Moncloa with President Sánchez, and a massive parade to Cibeles, where crowd estimates grew from hundreds of thousands to nearly two million. Meanwhile, the Plus Ultra rescue scandal continued to develop, with multiple outlets reporting that the airline's president implicated former Prime Minister Zapatero in a €530,000 commission. This story ran in parallel but was overshadowed by the celebrations. Other items—a judicial appointment controversy, an educational strike in Andalusia, and an EU fine on AliExpress—received minimal attention.
