Ferran Torres: From World Cup Glory to Wine, Therapy, and New York

Ferran Torres, the 26-year-old Spanish soccer star who scored the decisive goal in the 2026 World Cup final, sat down with Vogue in New York City. Torres was in town as a guest of Under Armour, fulfilling media commitments including interviews with CNN's Kaitlan Collins and the Today show, and preparing to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Yankees game. During the interview at the 1 Hotel Central Park South, Torres discussed the challenges of newfound fame, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded and maintaining his mental health through regular therapy sessions with a therapist he has seen for nearly four years. He also touched on his love for America, his time in Chattanooga, Tennessee, during the World Cup, and his frequent visits to Shake Shack. Torres addressed the controversial "Make Spain Great Again" hat he wore during the Madrid celebration, clarifying it was not a political statement but a proud nod to Spain's victory. He also shared his preference for understated style, his love for wine (including a recent tasting of Screaming Eagle), and his excitement for upcoming films like Spider-Man and The Odyssey. Torres is due back at Barcelona training on August 12, with speculation about a potential transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
