The scorer of Spain's second World Cup title spoke on «El Hormiguero» about reliving that goal every day.

Ferran Torres appeared on the program «El Hormiguero», where he enjoyed discussing the goal that helped Spain win the title.

The player from Foios said: «One thing I've learned is that if people talk about you, it means you're doing more than they are. Scoring a goal is the most thrilling moment. For me, that was a goal for 47 million people. I felt the strength of all of Spain concentrated in that goal.»

Reflecting on that goal, Ferran Torres recalled: «When Lamine Yamal received the ball on the wing and passed it to Porro, I kept running forward, continuously moving toward the box. When the ball reached Nico, I saw that space like an island, undefended. Iniesta once said after scoring that he felt everything disappear. I felt the same thing. I heard silence for a second, then I ran toward the corner flag.»

About the shot itself, he said: «I put almost all my strength into it. If it hadn't been a World Cup final, I probably would have blasted the ball over the goal.»

On watching the goal again, Ferran Torres said: «I see that goal every day. After I scored, we won the match and started celebrating. Then they came down to take a photo with the trophy. My first reaction was that this goal was very special. I couldn't remember anything except running wildly with 20 guys, thinking they might tackle me. Borja Iglesias and David Raya helped protect me from them.»

Speaking about mistakes, he said: «I used to blame myself harshly. Now we're all adults, and when we make a mistake, I know it was my fault. I don't obsess over mistakes, because they're part of learning. Every goal I missed before contributed to that later goal.»

On the significance of this goal, Ferran Torres stated: «Scoring in a World Cup final is something else entirely; you can't compare it to anything. Just as you can't be completely devastated when you make a mistake, you also can't get carried away by scoring a goal. This is a sport involving 11 players and the bench. Scoring goals will always be addictive.»

Speaking about Iniesta, he said: «He's one of the best players in history. Having your name associated with his is a dream.»

On Luis Enrique, Ferran Torres said: «He's very special. If he has something to tell you, whether good or bad, he tells you directly. He's very loyal to his people. From a football perspective, I treat him like a father. He's a coach who knows how to bring out your maximum potential.»

Regarding the Ballon d'Or, he said: «Whoever deserves it should win it. If a Spaniard wins it, that would be even better.»
