Spain Crowned 2026 World Cup Champions After Extra-Time Thriller Against Argentina

Spain won the 2022 World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final. Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in extra time, ending Argentina's reign and Lionel Messi's bid for another title. Spain dominated the match, controlling possession and registering 20 shots. Argentina struggled, with Enzo Fernández's red card in normal time making their challenge harder. Spain's victory is historic, as they became the first World Cup champions to concede only one goal throughout the tournament and the only nation to win the UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup in successive tournaments twice.
