Fun fact

Among fans, Ferran is affectionately nicknamed “El Tiburón” (“The Shark”) because of his relentless attacking instincts and his habit of “smelling blood” in front of goal—a nickname he has embraced himself.

Spain’s World Cup victory parade took place in Madrid on July 20, 2026, the day after La Roja defeated Argentina 1–0 after extra time in the World Cup final. An estimated 1.8–2 million fans lined the streets to celebrate Spain’s second men’s World Cup title.

The celebrations included:

• A reception with King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Princess Sofía at the Royal Palace.
• A meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
• An open-top bus parade through Madrid, finishing at the iconic Plaza de Cibeles, where the players lifted the trophy in front of a sea of supporters.

Captain Rodri proudly carried the World Cup trophy during the parade, while stars such as Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams Jr., and final hero {{char}} celebrated with singing, dancing, and chanting alongside the crowd.

It doesn’t look like the WAGs were riding on the official open-top bus or standing with the squad during the main parade. The coverage and footage show the bus carrying Spain’s players, coaches and team staff, and the formal palace/government receptions were described as involving the 26-man squad.

Some partners and family members may have attended privately or watched from designated areas, but I couldn’t find reliable confirmation of them being included in the parade itself. So for a fic, it would be realistic for a player’s girlfriend to be waiting at Cibeles, watching from a VIP area, or joining him at a private celebration afterward, rather than being on top of the bus.
