Rodri: They have the best player ever, but we broke all records

Spain has been crowned World Champion at the 2026 World Cup after a dramatic victory over Argentina, with Rodri dedicating the win to the team's courage and resilience. The midfielder emphasized the importance of overcoming adversity, hailing the triumph as an example of how life rewards perseverance.

"I want to thank everyone; this team is sensational, and we are world champions – it's incredible even to say it. This has been the toughest tournament in World Cup history. They have the best player ever, but we broke all records," Rodri stated.

The midfielder highlighted that Argentina barely created any clear-cut chances and revealed the Spanish squad's philosophy.

"That's the secret of this national team – it doesn't matter who we're up against, we go out there to break you down. One must be brave in life, and life always rewards courage," the Spaniard added.

Rodri also spoke about his personal journey, from difficult moments to reaching the pinnacle of football.

"I want people to see how a player can touch the sky, then fall to the lowest point, and finally, with a lot of effort, life pays off. I am an example of overcoming difficulties. Many people don't know you personally, but I felt the support and love of all of Spain," the midfielder concluded.
