Merlín la Pata has somehow become one of the breakout stars of the 2026 World Cup, showing up everywhere in Mexico and collecting fans faster than some national teams. The duck has been spotted at matches, fan zones, and celebrations, turning into an unofficial mascot of the tournament.
After seeing the saves Mexico’s been pulling off, people are starting to wonder if Merlín isn’t just a lucky charm. At this point, the only logical explanation is that the duck has been secretly protecting the goal all along.
