At the start there were 48 countries, now there are only two left. On July 19, Argentina will meet Spain in the World Cup final. While Lionel Messi’s teammates hope to achieve a double, the players from the Iberian Peninsula only dream of a second star. For support, Lamin Yamal and his family can count on their royal family, who specially came to New York.
After sharing photos of their joy during Spain’s qualifier against France, Felipe VI, Letizia, Leonor and Sofia were only able to ride the entire trip. “This World Cup final is not just a match. It is a common dream that unites an entire country and touches the hearts of all those around the world who have Spain in their hearts. Today millions of people are with you and dreaming with you. Forward to victory!” the family wrote on their Instagram account.

However, at the mission, the king was unable to wear the La Roja jersey when he joined the presidential podium, where Donald and Melania Trump, as well as Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, were waiting for him. However, he made sure to wear a red tie, the same as that of the American President, who, for his part, associates him with the Republican camp. Red was also visible in Letizia’s outfit, which reworked her Adolfo Dominguez dress.

Leonor and Sofia, the most devoted fans
While away from their parents, Leonor and Sofia also wore red, with the eldest wearing trousers of that color and the eldest wearing them on her blouse. Less measured than the king and queen, who declared that their greatest hope was for a “beautiful spectacle,” the princesses made it clear that they only wanted victory.
Both were 4 and 3 years old at the time of Spain’s first victory in 2010. Then they were unable to attend the match, but, nevertheless, attended the reception of the players in the royal palace. They were then able to hold the trophy in their little hands, and they could very well repeat the experience after 90 minutes.
