Ferran Torres emerged as a hero for Spain by scoring the winning goal in extra time of the World Cup final against Argentina. During the victory celebrations in Madrid, the Barcelona forward wore a hat with the slogan “Make Spain Great Again,” which sparked debate as a nod to Donald Trump’s famous “Make America Great Again” campaign.
Torres has not yet explained the gesture himself, but Donald Trump came to his defense during a press conference in Washington. Trump stated, "He's a great player. He wore a ‘Make Spain Great Again’ cap. It was a great gesture, and I think he did it in good faith. We appreciate that."
While it remains unclear whether Torres was supporting or mocking Trump’s cause, the media focus has also shifted to his future at Barcelona. With his contract expiring after next season, rumors link him to Paris Saint-Germain and, surprisingly, Real Madrid, though a move to Los Blancos is unlikely. Torres’ possible departure could leave Barcelona lacking a proper center forward, potentially forcing urgent moves in the transfer market.
