Laporte arrives at Spain camp wearing ‘¿Y por qué no?’ T-shirt | OneFootball

Aymeric Laporte arrived for Spain’s first camp since clinching a second star wearing a white T-shirt reading “¿Y por qué no?”.

According to El Correo, the phrase dates back to Qatar four years ago, when asked why Spain could win the World Cup, he replied: “¿Y por qué no?”. Morocco then eliminated Luis Enrique’s side and Spain went home early.

A couple of months ago the Spanish federation revived the line in a video featuring 2010 champions including Iker Casillas, Vicente del Bosque, Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernández, Sergio Busquets, David Villa and Iniesta.

The tee is by Dust of Gods, a brand with football themed pieces, for example a deconstructed Beckham shirt, one inspired by Portugal, and another linked to the United States team. Its wearers include Vinicius, J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Neymar, Jason Derulo and Lamine Yamal.

Spain now turn to the Nations League, with four fixtures: England on 26 September at Wembley, Croatia on 29 September at Sánchez Pizjuán, Czech Republic on 3 October in Oviedo, then Croatia on 6 October in Split.
