Spain captain Rodri tells his teammates to approach Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina with ambition and without fear, according to reports. With Lionel Messi playing for Argentina, Rodri frames the match as a challenge against the tournament’s leading force, describing Argentina as “the team to beat.” Spain’s build-up to the final includes recent major success, with the squad having won the Nations League and the European Championship in the years leading up to the World Cup decider. The message from Rodri focuses on mindset—encouraging Spain to bring “hunger” to the game while staying confident in their ability to compete for football’s biggest prize. Multiple outlets report the same theme of determination ahead of the final, highlighting the contrast between Spain’s momentum from recent trophies and the attention on Argentina and Messi as key figures for the match. The reports do not cite new tactical details, focusing instead on Rodri’s pre-match comments and the significance of the opponent.
