One of the Spanish national team players ignored the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after La Roja won the World Cup tournament against Argentina by a goal to nothing.
The Spanish national team managed to win against Argentina with a goal without reply in the final match played between the two teams today, allowing La Roja to obtain the World Cup title for the second time in its history.
After the end of the match and during the crowning ceremony, Borja Iglesias, the Spanish national team striker, ignored Trump, and the player shook hands with the US President in a somewhat lukewarm manner, as the Celta Vigo striker is known to be against Trump's policy.

Borja Iglesias had stated before the match that he was not comfortable meeting Trump, indicating that he would try to get over the matter quickly, as he also admitted before the start of the World Cup that he was against the actions of the US President.
On the other hand, Cristian Romero, the Argentine defender, did the same thing, as he completely ignored shaking hands with Trump when receiving the medals, and went directly to stand next to the rest of his teammates.
As the newspaper "Sport" mentioned, in a related context, that Lamine Yamal, Spain's star, almost did the same thing and ignored Trump, but he greeted him in the end.
