Spanish Player Candidly Comments on Shaking Hands with Trump After 2026 World Cup Final

"Spanish player" speaks frankly about shaking hands with "Trump" after the 2026 World Cup final match.

On 19 July 2026, Borja Iglesias, Spain's national team forward, spoke openly to Panenka media before the 2026 World Cup final against Argentina, which will be played tonight at 02:00 on 20 July, Thai time.

Borja Iglesias, a forward from Celta Vigo, was asked how he would feel if he met U.S. President Donald Trump during the medal ceremony after the match, as the White House has confirmed Trump's attendance at the 2026 World Cup final.

Given Donald Trump's reputation for outspoken political and social opinions, Borja Iglesias humorously responded about shaking hands with the U.S. leader: "Well... I don't want to end up in jail!"

"It's something I've thought about and imagined as well. I hope to greet him when we're all happy (winning the 2026 World Cup), and I hope that moment passes quickly so I can forget about it."
