Spain
defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in
New Jersey, with substitute Ferran Torres scoring the winner after a tense
match where La Roja dominated possession but faced a stubborn defense.
Rodri
earned the Golden Ball, Unai Simón the Golden Glove, and teen Pau Cubarsí best
young player, while Lamine Yamal became the first under-20 to win both Euros
and World Cup.
The victory marked Spain's second title, first since 2010, making them the first nation to hold men's and women's World Cups at once, with Barcelona stars shining throughout.
