Spain's Rodri scripts history, joins football's most exclusive club after WC win
Rodri became the fourth men's player to win FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, UEFA Champions League, and Ballon d'Or, joining Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbauer, and Zinedine Zidane.
Rodri won the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball as the tournament's best player after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 final.
He completed 756 passes at the tournament, the most by any player in a single World Cup in over 60 years.
Rodri delivered 122 line-breaking passes, the highest by any player since Xabi Alonso's 126 in 2010.
Spain conceded only one goal across eight matches, the fewest by a World Cup-winning team.
