Spain’s Euro 2024 Victory Celebration Marred by Controversial Anti-Morocco Chants

It was the player Rodri Hernandez who started singing the song "Gibraltar is Spanish, Gibraltar is Spanish" as he got off the bus that transported the team to the Cibeles Square in Madrid. Later, Álvaro Morata, captain of the Roja, took up the same song on the podium, in front of thousands of fans and supporters, and his teammates chanted in chorus: "and Morocco too".

British media such as the Daily Mail have described these statements by the Spanish team towards Morocco as "disgusting". Spain won the European Championship on Sunday after beating England 2-1 in the final.
