Spain well deserved its second star

Spain is Argentina’s raison d’être and today is the final of the 2026 World Cup (1-0 after extra time). With the second supreme title in its history at stake.

(Site notre blog d’information) will indeed triumph this Sunday evening in New York, during the final of the 2026 World Cup. Faced with Argentina holding the trophy but without much idea other than distorting the debates, Spain had the last word after extra time (1-0). After 90 minutes without relief marked above all by this ability of the Albiceleste to ruin the game – cell without ever taking an opponent’s goal and still with a red card logically inflicted on Enzo Fernandez in added time (90th + 3) – La Roja ended up finding the fault in the second act of overtime.

After a first goal unfairly invalidated by Nico Williams (96th), Ferran Torres benefited from a nice delivery from the latter in the area to place the resumption of victory in the net of Emiliano Martinez (1-0, 106th). A distinctive merit for the selection of the strongest and most technical of the 2026 World Cup. A Spaniard now flanked by two stars on the jersey after the supreme coronation of 2010.

Mbappé remains the best but is part of history

The Argentinian, for his part, remains confined to three titles. Soon to be orphaned a priori by his playing master Lionel Messi, who today at the Metlife Stadium did not have the expected influence. A good new player for a certain Kylian Mbappé who achieved the best results of the competition with 10 goals (compared to 8 for La Pulga). The captain of the Blues is the rest of the greatest world story with 22 banderillas planted (compared to 21 for Messi).
