The red cap worn by Ferran Torres during the celebration of Spain's World Cup in Madrid has crossed borders. The White House has publicly reacted to the gesture of the Spanish international with a message on the social network X, after Fox News broadcast a video of the parade in which the forward appears wearing a cap with the slogan "Make Spain Great Again", a clear reference to the well-known political slogan popularized by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The official account of the White House responded to the publication of the U.S. network with a brief message: "Everyone wants to join the movement", accompanying the comment with a quote from the video broadcast by Fox News.

A cap that generated international repercussions
The cap of Ferran Torres had already been one of the most commented elements of the celebration of the world title in Madrid due to its similarity to the slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA), used by Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns and later became the main symbol of his political movement.
So far, Ferran Torres has not publicly explained why he chose that cap nor what meaning he intended to give it, so it is unknown whether it was a political nod, a humorous reference, or simply an aesthetic element.
