Spain wins World Cup, secures second star
The Spanish national team won the 2026 World Cup for the second time in its history, after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final held in the United States. The only goal was scored by Ferran Torres just after the 106th minute in the second extra time, securing Spain's victory after a 16-year absence since their first title in 2010. Spain was the better side throughout the match, dominating possession and creating numerous scoring opportunities, while Argentina's performance declined, especially after their midfielder Enzo Fernández was sent off in stoppage time. With this victory, Spain’s total World Cup titles increased to two, while Argentina’s tally remains at three, and the Albiceleste failed to defend their title for the second consecutive time. The tournament journey for both teams differed: Spain topped their group and advanced through the knockout stages, whereas Argentina achieved a perfect record in the group stage and moved on to the final rounds. This triumph is seen as a milestone for the new generation of Spanish players, led by coach Luis de la Fuente. The event also served as a symbolic confrontation between Lionel Messi, who is now 39 years old, and Lamine Yamal, the 19-year-old star of the future in Spanish football.
