The City Council of Madrid is evaluating the addition of a screen in Colón square for the World Cup final. This decision comes in light of the great interest in the match that Spain will play.

Colón square in Madrid is preparing for a historic event this Sunday, when the Spanish national team competes in the World Cup final. The City Council is considering installing a second screen facing Génova street, which would allow more fans to enjoy the match live. Currently, there is already a screen installed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) at the location. The Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has expressed his enthusiasm for the Spanish team's performance in the earlier stages of the tournament, highlighting their recent victory over France as a memorable moment. "I don't remember a display of authority and football submission like yesterday's," Almeida stated, who also praised the second goal scored by Pedro Porro as one of the best he has seen. The possibility of celebrating a victory in Cibeles and other central areas is being considered by local authorities, who are already organizing a police presence to ensure safety during potential festivities. Almeida has had discussions with the Spanish Football Federation about how to manage the celebrations if Spain manages to lift the trophy. Regarding the opponent in the final, Almeida considers England to be a strong team, although he also sees appeal in a matchup against Argentina due to their rich footballing history shared with Spain. In any case, he assures that it will be a great spectacle regardless of who the opponent is. During previous matches, Madrid has experienced significant but controlled crowds; according to recent reports, medical attention has been minimal and mostly related to mild intoxications and dizziness among attendees. With everything set for this exciting sporting encounter, fans can expect a day full of passion and camaraderie as they support their national team.
