One goal, one cup, one history! Spain wins the 2026 World Cup and dethrones

Spain is the new world champion.

"La Roja" triumphed 1-0 over Argentina after 120 minutes of play in the grand final of the 2026 World Cup, winning the most important trophy in world football for the second time in history and ending Argentina's reign.

With Lionel Messi on one side and Spain's new golden generation on the other, the challenge was only decided in extra time.

The hero of the evening was Ferran Torres, who in the 106th minute made the most of a chance in the area and beat Emiliano Martinez, scoring the goal that sealed the fate of the final.

Argentina tried to react in the remaining minutes, but the Spaniards calmly managed the advantage, leaving no room for the reigning champions to regain the lead.

For "La Roja", this is the second world title after the historic triumph in 2010 in South Africa. Meanwhile, Argentina leaves the tournament as runners-up, losing the crown they won four years ago.

In a final that was expected to be spectacular and that kept the fans in suspense until the end, a single moment decided everything. Ferran Torres' goal not only gave Spain the 2026 World Cup trophy, but also marked the beginning of a new era for Spanish football, which returns to the top of the world after 16 years.
