Messi's ordeal in Spain-Argentina final stats
Spain's national team won the 2026 World Cup after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final after two extra periods, claiming their second title in history following their 2010 victory. Ferran Torres scored the winning goal as a substitute, while Spain recorded the fewest goals conceded by a World Cup-winning team (just one goal in eight matches). Spain went unbeaten in their last 38 games, the longest winning streak in the history of European and South American national teams. Meanwhile, Argentina finished the tournament in second place for the fourth time, with Lionel Messi participating in a third World Cup final—making him the second-oldest player to play in a final at 39 years and 25 days old. The match featured unique moments, including Argentina not shooting on target in the first half, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez making 11 saves, a record since 1966.
