Amitabh Bachchan spent a busy Sunday balancing his longstanding tradition of meeting fans outside his Mumbai home, Jalsa, with his love of football. After greeting admirers during his weekly interaction on Sunday, the veteran actor stayed to watch the final of the FIFA World Cup 2026, later sharing his thoughts on Argentina’s narrow 1-0 loss to Spain through his personal blog.Expressing his excitement for the title clash before kickoff, Bachchan reflected on the result in the early hours of Monday. As a devoted football fan, he writes about the emotional nature of the game’s triumphs and failures, especially sympathetic to Lionel Messi after the defeat of Argentina.Sharing his thoughts, Bachchan wrote, “The match… over… Spain the Champions and Messi lost… tears of emotion… sad… but there comes a day for every champion… when you turn the corner, you see someone better than you… accept the love that came your way… rest in that glory.”The World Cup final remained deadlocked until extra time before substitute Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1-0 victory. The victory ended Argentina’s reign as world champions, while Messi’s hopes of retaining the trophy came to a heartbreaking end.
