Lucas Vázquez Praises Spanish Fans for Peaceful World Cup Celebration

Spain won its second World Cup on July 19, 2026, prompting millions of Spaniards to celebrate in streets across the country. Unlike recent major football celebrations—such as the 2022 Champions League final in Paris or Argentina's 2022 World Cup win—the Spanish festivities were marked by a complete absence of vandalism, fights, or police interventions. Leverkusen and former Spain national team player Lucas Vázquez highlighted this peaceful conduct in an Instagram story, stating: 'Without breaking lampposts, without burning cars, without looting stores. Simply Spain.' The article, published by AS on July 22, 2026, contrasts the orderly Spanish celebration with previous incidents abroad, emphasizing the positive behavior of the fans.
