ARLINGTON, TX — Win a World Cup semifinal, get a call from your king.
King Felipe VI called Spain's national team after its 2-0 win over France in the semifinal on Tuesday, July 14. Spain will play in its first World Cup final since 2010, when it won its only title.
"It’s such a source of pride, the fact our king called us and shows such an interest. He keeps supporting us," Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said, beaming.
"We are responsible for this joy we are feeling," de la Fuente added. "We are a country united for a common cause. Let’s enjoy this. We have one more step, the last one, the most important one."
King Felipe VI has been a visible supporter of Spain at this World Cup, even attending their group-stage game against Uruguay in Guadalajara, Mexico. He hasn't been at any games since, and there's no word yet if he'll attend the final.
