Spain’s World Cup win is so deserved! With Nico Williams’ header to Ferran Torres, they finally scored. Argentina did not even have a shot on goal until Messi’s 117th minute blocked shot.
With 11 shots on goal and 20 shot attempts, 66% of possession, 583 passes vs 268 passes, Spain held composure and possession for this game. Their defense held the line.
What a steady leader in Luis de la Fuente as an unbeaten manager (14 wins, 1 draw) who modeled perseverance, growth, positive attitude, and commitment.
The entire tournament trajectory, Spain held clean sheets until Belgium scored once. And that was it! Every game was a shut out besides that one game.
Congrats to Kylian Mbappe on earning the back-to-back Golden Boot with 10 goals this tournament. Bravo to bright star and humble captain Rodri for winning Golden Ball (best player), and persistently tireless Unai Simon for Golden Glove, the absolute best goalkeeper. Pau Cubarsi won Best Young Player, and at age 19 has only started what is to be a promising career.
It’s such a deserved moment for Spain. After watching all 104 games over 39 days of incredible futbol, I can honestly say — what a thrilling finale!!
