Ferran Torres’ extra time goal proved the difference, as Spain lifted their first World Cup trophy since 2010 last night.
They dethroned the 2022 winners Argentina, who were left with 10-men following a late red card for Enzo Fernandez.
It means Spain now hold both the World Cup and European Championship titles – a feat they last achieved with their EURO’s success in 2012.

Meanwhile, Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has cast doubt over his future in charge of the South American nation.
He left his post match press conference in tears following last night’s loss, as he failed to become just the second manager to win back-to-back World Cups.

Scaloni says he will likely depart upon the expiry of his contract this December.
