King Felipe VI of Spain celebrated wildly after his country's national team qualified for the 2026 World Cup final by defeating France 2-0 on Tuesday.

The Spanish Royal Palace account posted a video of King Felipe VI watching the match with his family members Queen Letizia and their daughters Leonor and Sofia, all wearing the 'La Roja' shirt and celebrating the victory.

Mikel Oyarzabal scored a penalty goal, and Pedro Porro added the second goal, sending Spain to their second World Cup final in history at the expense of France.

Spain is in the final! 🇪🇸
