Pedri's old cryptic post linked to Spain's World Cup win

Pedri posted the number sequence '1 9 0 7 2 6' on Instagram on June 10, 2025 without context.

After Spain's FIFA World Cup 2026 final win on July 19, 2026, fans interpreted the sequence as a prediction of the final date.

Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final at MetLife Stadium, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute.

Pedri played in every match and was instrumental for Spain under coach Luis de la Fuente.

The victory ended Spain's 16-year World Cup drought and extended their unbeaten run to a European-record 38 matches.
