Donald Trump is scheduled to present the World Cup trophy to the winners of the final.
Borja Iglesias, a Celta Vigo striker, stated he would shake hands with Trump to avoid legal consequences.
Iglesias said the encounter is something he has imagined but hopes to forget quickly afterward.
He acknowledged that certain moments in life must be forgotten, describing the situation as complicated.
The forward noted he does not wish to create controversy and that his personal views are already known.
Iglesias admitted he lacks the power to confront certain realities despite public perception of his influence.
He has made only one appearance for Spain at the World Cup, entering as a late substitute in the 1-0 last-16 win over Portugal.
Trump previously labeled Spain a "wasted cause" and declared the United States should end trade relations with the country.
He criticized Spain as a terrible NATO partner, claiming the nation fails to participate or pay its share.
Trump called for cutting off all trade and visits with Spain, describing the country as hopeless.
