After winning the 2026 World Cup, the Spanish national team returned home in a festive mood. About two million fans took to the streets of Madrid to catch a glimpse of the world champions. After a colorful victory procession across the city, a reception was organized at Cibeles Square. However, the joyful event was the source of controversy.

While calling the players to the stage one by one, while introducing Spanish winger Jeremi Pino, the presenter made a sarcastic comment aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo, which immediately sparked discussion.

He said, 'Many people called him Cristiano Ronaldo. But this man won the World Cup. Conference League winner, our world champion - Jeremi Pino!'

Immediately after this comment, a wide discussion started on social media. Many criticized it as an unnecessary provocation and disrespectful comments towards Ronaldo. Others see it as a joke made in the excitement of winning the World Cup.

It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo has never won the World Cup despite winning the Euros, Nations League, Champions League and numerous individual awards in his illustrious career. On the other hand, Jeremih Pino won the World Cup for Spain in 2026.
