Former Spanish international midfielder Juan Mata took to social media to celebrate Barcelona star Dani Olmo following Spain's magnificent 2-0 victory over France in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The high-stakes clash at the Dallas Stadium in Texas saw La Roja deliver a masterclass in possession football to secure their place in Sunday's final.
Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring for Spain in the 22nd minute, converting calmly from the penalty spot after Lucas Digne brought down teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
Spain doubled their advantage in the 58th minute when Pedro Porro played an exquisite, quick-tempo one-two with Dani Olmo before driving the return ball past Mike Maignan.
Though Porro scooped up the official Man of the Match honors, it was Olmo’s elegance in the midfield that grabbed Mata's attention. Writing on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Mata simply expressed: "How Dani Olmo plays football," reflecting the collective admiration of Spanish supporters worldwide.
Olmo has now featured in all of Spain's World Cup games, racking up two crucial assists as his team prepares to play the winner of the England-Argentina semi-final match at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
