Liverpool’s new £34m summer signing Victor Muñoz has already had a taste of success at the highest level after being part of Spain’s World Cup-winning squad, with La Roja edging past Argentina 1-0 in a cagey fWorld Cup final.Although the 23-year-old did not feature during the tournament, he has every reason to embrace his nation’s celebrations after experiencing football’s greatest prize from within the victorious camp. It is the perfect way to begin the next chapter of his career before making the move to Anfield.A recent clip circulating on X has caught the attention of Liverpool supporters, with the Spanish winger’s infectious celebrations offering an early glimpse into the personality arriving on Merseyside this summer.The footage shows Muñoz emerging onto the stage with a beaming smile as he is greeted by the echoing cheers of the Spanish faithful before delighting supporters by tossing a replica World Cup trophy into the crowd.He then joins his teammates in bouncing up and down as the celebrations continue, soaking in the moment before proudly lifting the trophy aloft for the supporters.I love Munoz already and I haven’t seen him in a Liverpool shirt yet. 😂 pic.twitter.com/CCTdWl97sY— Samuel (@SamueILFC) July 20, 2026Liverpool fans have a long history of falling for a player before he's played a minute; Muñoz may already be halfway there.Muñoz’s performances for Osasuna and throughout his time in Real Madrid’s academy had already generated plenty of excitement around his signing.

Regarded as a direct, hard-working winger who thrives when carrying the ball and taking defenders on in one-versus-one situations, he arrives at Liverpool with a reputation for bringing energy both in and out of possession.Comfortable on either flank, the Spaniard could become an important option under Andoni Iraola as Liverpool look to reshape their attacking line this summer.Spain v Argentina: Final - FIFA World Cup 2026 | Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/GettyImagesNo matter how small a role Muñoz played in Spain’s World Cup triumph, the experience will undoubtedly prove invaluable for a player still in the early stages of his career. To witness football’s biggest achievement first-hand before taking the step up to the Premier League is likely to whet his appetite for even greater success, with the added motivation of playing a far more prominent role at club level.With Liverpool currently short of natural wingers, Muñoz could find himself involved in first-team football sooner rather than later, even if further attacking reinforcements arrive before the transfer window closes.Beyond his footballing ability, the footage has generated excitement about the personality Muñoz could bring to Liverpool’s dressing room.

Following the departures of influential figures such as Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konaté this summer, supporters will hope the Spaniard’s enthusiasm and positive character can help forge strong relationships within the squad and contribute to the atmosphere Iraola is looking to build.His first conversation with Liverpool teammate Alexis Mac Allister may begin with a few playful reminders of Spain’s World Cup triumph over Argentina, though the pair will no doubt leave their international rivalry at the door once they pull on the same red shirt.Spain v Argentina: Final - FIFA World Cup 2026 | Charlotte Wilson/Offside/GettyImagesIraola has already confirmed that Liverpool’s World Cup participants will be granted three weeks off before returning for pre-season. With Muñoz absent from the 31-man squad travelling to the United States, supporters may have to wait a little longer before seeing their new signing in Liverpool colours.If his first impression is anything to go by, however, Reds fans already have every reason to be excited about the character joining the club as much as the footballer.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
