Spain’s Big‑Name Fans Cheer a Clean Sheet

The SoFi Stadium buzzed with celebrities even though the U. S. team was not playing. Spanish fans filled one side of the arena, turning it into a celebrity hotspot. Oscar winners Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem sat together in a luxury suite, laughing and sharing drinks. Rosalia snapped photos with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who kept his travel list growing during the tournament. The Spanish football hall of fame was present too: Alexia Putellas, Carles Puyol, David Villa, Fernando Hierro and Míchel Salgado all watched the game.

Teen star Lamine Yamal stole the show, giving a brilliant assist and earning Man of the Match honors. His skill sparked cheers from the crowd, including the stars who could not help but clap along. Not only Spanish celebrities were in attendance. Coach Sean McVay, Olympic rugby star Ilona Maher, LAFC legend Carlos Vela, talk show host James Corden and former Lakers star Derek Fisher all watched the match from their seats. The World Cup, shared by the U. S. , Canada and Mexico, has attracted many high‑profile fans. This round of 32 match was another example of stars enjoying the global football event together.
