Ramos consoles Messi after Spain win World Cup

Sergio Ramos skipped Spain's World Cup celebrations to console Lionel Messi after Spain's 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final.

Lamine Yamal also consoled Messi, uniting Ramos, an old rival from El Clasico, and Yamal, Barcelona's new heir, in the moment.

Messi was devastated after Argentina's defeat, which ended his hope of becoming the first captain to win consecutive World Cups since 1962.

Ramos and Messi were previously adversaries in El Clasico and later teammates at Paris Saint-Germain.

Substitute Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute after Argentina was reduced to 10 men following Enzo Fernández's dismissal.
