With Spain winning the Euros and Carlos Alcaraz taking home the Wimbledon title, Spain’s athletes have been flourishing worldwide this week. Sergio Garcia displayed great patriotism at the 2024 LIV Golf Invitational in Andalucia this week by interacting with fans in his home country and sporting the country’s signature yellow and red colors during the last round.

“I might be wrong, but I think that if the soccer team wins tonight, it could be probably one of the biggest days in the history of Spanish sports. I would say: Alcaraz winning, us winning both individually and as a team, and then the national team winning the Euro Cup. It would be amazing to have all those four things happen in the same day. It would be amazing.”
