Spain Crowned World Cup Champions | Canada News

Spain shocks the world by winning the World Cup 1-0 over Argentina in a nail-biting extra time thriller, thanks to a 106th-minute goal from substitute Ferran Torres. This historic victory makes Spain the first nation to hold both men’s and women’s World Cup titles, while also setting a new record for the fewest goals conceded by a champion. Argentina, led by a likely final appearance from Lionel Messi, struggled to break down Spain’s impenetrable defense, which held firm despite 12 saves from their goalkeeper. Spain’s 38-match unbeaten streak continues, and the emotional aftermath saw Spanish players honor their rivals with a moving gesture. Argentina’s final minutes were further complicated by a red card to Enzo Fernandez, leaving them down to 10 men. The tournament, the largest ever with 48 teams across North America, delivered record-breaking goals and a global spectacle, culminating in a dramatic, unforgettable final that cemented Spain’s legacy in soccer history.
