Petition To Replay FIFA World Cup Final Storms Internet, Spain Star Reacts
Spain star Pedro Porro was asked about the petition to replay the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Argentina.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 final concluded with Spain securing a 1-0 victory against Argentina to win the title for the second time in their history. While the match ended with Spain clearly being the dominant side, the sending-off of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez enabled La Roja to shift the momentum in their favour. Disheartened Argentina fans, however, have started an online petition demanding the final be replayed. The petition has reportedly garnered over 80,000 signatures. Now, this development has even reached Spain defender Pedro Porro.
Speaking to Sport, Porro was asked what he thought about the online petition demanding a replay. He insisted he had not read anything about the matter, dismissing it as "just things said from the outside". The Tottenham Hotspur player further stated that these matters do not concern him personally.
According to reports in Argentina, their fans believe several decisions went against the team in the final, and they want any replay handled by a different referee. Spain secured the 1-0 win after extra time, with Barcelona forward Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal.
The petition states that FIFA should review what happened in the final to guarantee transparency and sporting fairness. However, there is no precedent for a World Cup final ever being replayed.
