Caitlin Clark accidentally sprays champagne across her face during celebration
Team USA had just completed a 14-point comeback against France to win its fifth straight FIBA Women’s World Cup title. The locker room celebration started quickly, but Clark forgot to wear protective goggles before opening a champagne bottle.
“I sprayed myself in the face on accident,”Clark wrote in her Instagram story. The post also included a playful message that read, “Someone get Caitlin some goggles smh.”
The clip came from Overtime WBB and spread across social media soon after the final. McCaffery reposted the footage on his own story, giving fans another reason to enjoy the moment.
The accident came after a serious game for Clark and Team USA. France built an early lead, but the Americans recovered after Kara Lawson adjusted the rotation. Clark’s deep three before halftime helped change the game’s direction.
The celebration and McCaffery’s reaction highlighted a memorable night that also featured Clark’s 12 points, three assists, and plus-11 rating in 13 minutes.
Team USA gold gives Caitlin Clark reason to laugh
Clark’s champagne mishap offered a light moment after a demanding final. Rhyne Howard and Aliyah Boston also made important plays as Team USA erased France’s lead and finished another championship run.
Clark and Angel Reese also drew attention during Team USA’s run, as the former college rivals worked together on the international stage. Their cooperation gave the roster more playmaking and scoring options.
Clark’s tournament role received more discussion because Lawson used her in a way that helped the team’s second unit. Clark still delivered a major shot when the game needed a change.
Clark and McCaffery have built their relationship since meeting at Iowa. His repost added a personal touch to a night defined by a gold medal, a comeback, and one painful champagne mistake.
The players will soon return to their WNBA teams. Clark will carry the title, the experience, and a story that may follow her longer than any box-score number.
