Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title by defeating Argentina in the final held on July 19.
Lamine Yamal, 19, stood out as one of the main players for the Spanish team. The forward stated that Neymar has been his idol since childhood and praised his creative style.
Yamal visited Neymar at his mansion in Mangaratiba the previous year, where they played footvolley and exchanged shirts. He also mentioned Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Vinicius Junior as references for flashy football.
Another Spanish player, Marc Cucurella, named David Luiz as his role model, even adopting the voluminous hairstyle look. The final also featured a halftime show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where Madonna was driven by Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Fenômeno.
