Spain Wins World Cup Again After 16-Year Wait

In today's World Cup final, Spain defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0, thanks to a dramatic winning goal by Ferran Torres in extra time. Lifting the World Cup trophy for the first time in 16 years, the Spain jersey will add a second star , drawing level with France and Uruguay.
Captain Rodri, wearing the number 16 soccer shirt, served as the team's core; he set a new historical record by completing a total of 827 passes during the tournament. The squad also featured two U-20 players—Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí—whose contributions were instrumental in a defensive campaign that saw Spain concede only a single goal throughout the tournament.
In addition to securing the $50 million championship prize, the Spanish team extended their unbeaten run to 38 matches. Spain also dominated the post-tournament awards: Rodri won the Golden Ball, Unai Simón claimed the Golden Glove, and Pau Cubarsí was named Best Young Player.
