✦AI Summary
Spain secured the 2026 World Cup title after a 1-0 victory over Argentina, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal in extra time. The match was characterized by Spain's dominance and a lack of offensive output from Argentina.
Ferran Torres scored the only goal to win Spain the 2026 World Cup in a remarkably drab final. La Roja were the only side eager to play football on the day, and ran out deserved winners in extra-time thanks to the Barcelona forward's heroics. With the victory, they secured back-to-back major trophy wins - and might have ended Leo Messi's Argentina career with a loss.
