VI Live follows Spain’s World Cup win as Paredes appears and Cucurella grabs the mic
VI Live Spanjaarden delivered a live broadcast of the World Cup final on Sunday 19 July at 21.00, when Spain faced Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium (East Rutherford, New Jersey, Verenigde Staten). The coverage highlighted Paredes Cucurella, with the Spaniard Paredes spotted among the squad and Cucurella grabbing the microphone during the post‑match interview.
The match was described as a nagelbijter, a nail‑biter that kept viewers on edge until the final whistle. VI noted the intensity of the contest and the high stakes for both nations.
Spain emerged victorious, securing its second consecutive tournament title. The victory marked Spain's back‑to‑back triumph in the World Cup series.
The defending champion was dethroned in the final, ending the reign of the previous winner and handing the trophy to the Spaniards.
Luis de la Fuente's squad will be honoured on Monday in Madrid, with a ceremony planned to celebrate the achievement.
