XKWhy did Rodri apologize to Bernardo Silva?
On July 6, 2026, during the World Cup final between Spain and Portugal, a heated exchange occurred between Spanish midfielder Rodri and Portuguese player Bernardo Silva after a controversial moment in the match. Spain won 1-0 with a stoppage-time goal by Mikel Merino, and Portugal had a chance to equalize but failed. After the game, Rodri approached Silva and apologized for his actions during the incident, stating, 'I asked Bernardo Silva for forgiveness for celebrating his mistake in that final action.
