🗞️ Luis the people's man, Scaloni vs the plot and Laporte on front pages | OneFootball

Spain is enjoying its second World Cup title, and Wednesday’s press is celebrating it.

Marca crowns Luis de la Fuente as “Luis de la Gente” (“Luis of the People”), while Mundo Deportivo prefers to speak of a “World Champion Barça” and remind readers that eight of their own were there in 2010 and 2026.

Sport, meanwhile, is already looking to the transfer market and leads with “Laporte Target,” because at Barça the joy of winning a trophy lasts only as long as it takes for the next signing to come into view.

As is already talking about the 2030 World Cup and explains that the RFEF wants to renew De la Fuente’s contract.

In Italy, the World Cup fallout sounds different: Gazzetta is loudly calling for a top-level national team coach — “Give us Pep (or Conte)” — and also warns that Gianni Infantino is trembling over a criminal summons pushed by Platini.

The Mirror has no doubts. It directly accuses FIFA of “destroying” football after the scandal of Balogun’s red card being waved off, and calls for Infantino’s resignation.

Argentina, the big loser in the final, is now in the venting stage, but Scaloni denies any “plot” and insists they lost because Spain were better.

And while the football world is still arguing about the World Cup, in Glasgow a report warns that the latest Old Firm derby was “minutes away” from tragedy because of ultra violence.

It is worth remembering that football remains, above all, about the fans in the stands, and fans must be cared for and protected.
