Thierry Henry spoke directly and without hesitation about the Spain national team after they defeated Argentina to win the 2026 World Cup.
On 21 Jul 2026 GMT+7, Thierry Henry, the legendary striker of France's 'Les Bleus,' spoke frankly about Spain's national team after they defeated Argentina's 'La Albiceleste' to claim the 2026 World Cup in a grand victory, marking Spain's second World Cup title in their history since 2010.
Thierry Henry stated, "In the next 10 years, one of the most remembered things will be that Spain is the best and bravest team, and they deserved to be world champions. At every level and age group, they play the same way. This is why Spain reigns as the world football champion across all levels, whether men's or women's teams, because they play in the same style."
"But I want to say something very important. We talked about Ferran Torres and before the game we talked about Lionel Messi. Do you know why? Spain's World Cup journey began when Ferran Torres missed a close-range chance against Cape Verde. Everyone criticized him. Spain couldn't score. I said to be careful, stay calm and patient because they didn't concede goals and they played well. They would play differently. That's what I said—don't give up. They knew what they were doing and they have done this for a long time."
