The unusual scene quickly went viral on social media. Many found it amusing that such a prestigious symbol of football success appeared to be transported in an ordinary bag, creating a bizarre but memorable moment during Spain’s celebrations.
However, the mystery behind the viral clip had a much simpler explanation. Cucurella was reportedly not carrying the official FIFA World Cup trophy but a LEGO replica of the famous prize inside the bag. The discovery turned the strange-looking moment into a light-hearted celebration rather than the shocking sight it first appeared to be.
How Spain Defeated Argentina to Win the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final
Spain secured their second FIFA World Cup title after defeating Argentina 1-0 in a tense final decided in extra time. The European champions controlled much of the contest and created the clearer chances, while Argentina struggled to build momentum and relied heavily on defensive resilience. The turning point came late in regulation when Enzo Fernández was shown a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Pau Cubarsí, leaving Argentina with 10 men heading into extra time.
Despite Emiliano Martínez producing another outstanding performance with crucial saves to keep Argentina alive, Spain finally found the breakthrough in the 106th minute. Nico Williams’ header set up Ferran Torres, who calmly finished past Martínez to seal victory for Luis de la Fuente’s side. The triumph marked Spain’s second men’s World Cup crown and made them the first nation to simultaneously hold both the men’s and women’s FIFA World Cup titles.
