SPAIN ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. La Roja conquered the world with a 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina — and the numbers tell the story: Argentina didn't register a single shot on target until the second half of extra time. Ferran Torres was the hero. Full World Cup 2026 final review below.
At New York New Jersey Stadium, Spain controlled the final from the first whistle: 68% of the ball, 20 shots to Argentina's three, and an xG of 1.94 to 0.20. The only thing standing between La Roja and the trophy was Emiliano Martinez, who produced a World Cup final saves record to keep the defending champions alive. The game turned in second-half stoppage time when Enzo Fernandez was shown a second yellow for a foul on Pau Cubarsi, leaving Argentina to play all of extra time with ten men. Spain finally broke through 37 seconds into the second half of extra time, substitute Ferran Torres rifling home a Nico Williams cross in the 106th minute. It's Spain's second World Cup, 16 years after 2010, completing a stunning World-and-European-champions double — with a seventh clean sheet of the tournament and Luis de la Fuente becoming the oldest manager ever to win it. For Argentina, the dream of back-to-back titles is over, and Lionel Messi ends the tournament without the Golden Boot, which goes to Kylian Mbappe. I break down how Spain did it, why Argentina never got going, Yamal's coronation, and what this Spain side means for the next decade.
That's a wrap on my World Cup 2026 coverage. Thank you for riding with me every single day of this tournament. 🙏
