Spain defender Marc Cucurella went viral following Spain's 1-0 World Cup victory over Argentina after fans spotted him casually carrying his post-match trophies in clear plastic grocery bags, looking like he was taking home takeout.
Initial online jokes claimed he was storing the actual World Cup trophy in a trash bag, but the truth was far more practical. Following the match, FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented each member of the winning squad with miniature commemorative replicas. Up close, these small trophies resembled Lego-like souvenirs rather than priceless artifacts.
The real 18-carat solid gold World Cup trophy remains safely stored under high security at FIFA headquarters in Zurich. Cucurella's delightfully casual celebration simply added a funny, human moment to Spain's historical night.
