Former German international and ex-Barcelona player Gundogan updated his social media to congratulate Spain on winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and declared Rodri the best player of the tournament.

Gundogan also specifically paid tribute to the final's hero, Ferran Torres. Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in extra time, helping Spain secure their second FIFA World Cup title in history.

Gundogan's statement also echoed the high praise for the Spanish team that had been circulating in the past few hours. The Spanish team, coached by De la Fuente, demonstrated excellent tactical skill, organization, and stability throughout the tournament, lifting the trophy after defeating Argentina in the final. Rodri's performance and Ferran Torres's winning goal made this victory even more convincing, with the latter becoming a symbolic figure on the most important night in Spanish football.
