Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez is confident that the Spanish team will win the World Cup final on Sunday.

Speaking at the Gibraltar fence removal ceremony, Sanchez said, "The hope of becoming world champions again on Sunday is in our own hands. Thank you to our national team for making us so excited. Hopefully, the second star is coming soon. Without a doubt, we can achieve it this Sunday." This statement came shortly after Luis de la Fuente's Spain team defeated France to advance to the 2026 World Cup final with goals from Oyarzabal and Porro.
