A video is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showing Spanish national team goalkeeper Unai Simón appearing to receive and drink coffee while eating a cookie during the FIFA World Cup Final match between Spain and Argentina in the United States.
The video was shared by an X account operating under the handle
@Aupadrey, with the post suggesting that Simón had enough free time during the final to enjoy coffee and a snack because Argentina managed only one shot on target during the game.
Claim
A video making rounds on X claims that Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón was seen drinking coffee and eating a cookie during the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina in the United States because he had very little action to handle in goal.
The video, posted by an X account under the handle
@Aupadrey, was shared as a humorous reference to Argentina’s performance in the match, where fans claimed the Spanish goalkeeper had almost nothing to do.
Verdict: The video is misleading.
It is an AI-generated fan video created for entertainment purposes and does not show Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón drinking coffee or eating a cookie during the World Cup Final against Argentina.
A review of the footage shows signs of AI manipulation, including unnatural movements, inconsistent details around the goalkeeper’s hands and the objects he appears to hold, as well as unrealistic behaviour during a live international football final.
There are also no official match recordings, photographs, or reports from the game showing Unai Simón receiving coffee or eating a cookie while on the pitch.
