Ana Mena has categorically dismissed speculation about a romantic relationship with Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, calling the claims "nonsense" and "ridiculous" after the pair were spotted together during Spain's World Cup celebrations in Madrid. The Spanish artist addressed the mounting media frenzy upon her arrival at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, firmly rejecting any connection to the footballer.
The rumours gained traction when Mena appeared alongside Torres at the Cibeles celebration organised by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and later at a prominent Madrid nightclub. The speculation intensified when photographs showed her wearing Spain's number 7 shirt—the very number Torres wears for the national team. When pressed about her choice of shirt, Mena responded matter-of-factly: "Well, this is the shirt they gave me, I don't know," signalling her frustration at the overwrought media narrative.
Clearing the Air at Spain's Victory Celebrations
The Barcelona star was among Spain's standout performers during their 2026 World Cup triumph, scoring the decisive goal in the final against Argentina. The 1-0 victory in extra time secured the nation's second world title in history. Mena acknowledged meeting Torres during the festivities but stressed it was no different from her conversations with other players present. "There were a lot of people, and I spoke to many of them," she explained, emphasising the encounter was merely one moment amid the broader celebrations rather than any meaningful connection.
The 30-year-old actress and former partner of actor Óscar Casas made no attempt to hide her exasperation at days of Spanish tabloid speculation. Her swift rebuttal underscores the intense scrutiny that surrounds high-profile athletes and entertainers at major sporting events, where chance encounters are frequently amplified into fabricated narratives by media outlets. With Torres focused on his club commitments and Mena moving forward with her career, the matter appears definitively closed.
