Eight out of ten Spaniards watched the final on television, and in some places thousands of people gathered around a giant screen to enjoy the good game of the team with friends and strangers.

The truth is that the images of Feijóo's celebration left no one indifferent. In that “VIP zone”, Feijóo enthusiastically celebrated the goals of Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal. Social networks echoed how Feijóo celebrated these goals and the final victory. Many 'twitterers' did not miss this reaction from the newspaper popular leader. The user José Aroca, For example, he hasn't cut a single hair.
