She waved repeatedly, accepted gifts and even stepped into the crowd to sign autographs and pose for selfies, creating an emotional moment that quickly spread across social media.

Rosalía faced criticism after resharing a video celebrating Spain's victory that many Argentine fans interpreted as mocking their national team. She later apologized, explaining that she had shared the clip because it featured her song "La Perla" and said she had not read the accompanying text, adding that she has "only love for Argentina."
