Spanish soccer player Ferran Torres wore a “Make Spain Great Again” red hat during the team’s homecoming parade on Monday. The 26-year-old forward, who plays for FC Barcelona, led Spain to their World Cup victory against the Argentinian reigning champs on Sunday with an overtime goal in the 106th minute. Torres and his teammates were celebrating their win amongst thousands of fans in their country’s capital, Madrid, on Monday when Torres posted a video to his Instagram story wearing the hat and cheering with the crowd. Torres has not confirmed whether his hat was a mockery or a tribute to the president, though reactions are split. “Are the leftists foaming at the mouth in rage?” one user posted to X. “You have to go out, touch grass and talk to people more if you can’t see this is 100% a joke on Trump’s expense,” another user wrote on Reddit. While some of the finalists snubbed the president during the presentation of medals, Torres shook his hand.
