Spain Clinches World Championship Title with Historic Victory over Argentina
Spain are World Champions after dominating Argentina and breaking the deadlock in the 106th minute thanks to a goal from Ferran Torres.
It is a second triumph for La Roja, who once again prove ruthless in World Cup finals: two appearances, two wins, and a second star to wear on their chest. It was also a record-breaking night for Spain, who became the first national team to win the European Championship and the World Cup consecutively twice.
🏆 Endless streak and record for fewest goals conceded
With just one goal conceded, the one scored by Charles De Ketelaere, Spain set a new record for the fewest goals allowed at a World Cup: only one.
Spain have now gone 38 matches without defeat: an all-time record, with the streak still ongoing and now definitively surpassing Italy under Roberto Mancini.
Lamine Yamal, at just 19 years old, is already in the history books: he is the youngest player ever to have already won both the European Championship and the World Cup.
Ferran like Götze: he is only the second substitute ever to decide a World Cup final.
😭 Argentina’s unwanted record
It was a fourth lost final for Argentina, who equal Germany’s unwanted record.
