Spain defeats Argentina: Was the coronation of “La Roja” a football victory? Describing the result of a match as a “football victory” may seem like a cliché, but it will not be easy to find many neutral observers who disagree with this description, after Spain’s victory in the 2026 World Cup final.
He added: “This result is a victory for football because of the way Spain played.
Details
Spain won the result of a match that exhausted the players and fans, defeated Argentina and won the Men's World Cup for the second time.
From start to finish, Spain dominated possession and was the party that tried to play football, create chances and penetrate.”
Spain - even in the world of international football, which is difficult to measure in numbers alone - is clearly the most prominent team in the world.
Argentina is often portrayed, especially by English fans, as the "villain" of international football.
Spain had 65 percent possession of the ball, had a total of 1.94 expected goals, and shot 20 shots on goal, including 11 shots between the three boards.
Argentina completed a total of 464 passes, compared to Spain's 852.
Argentina may have dragged the World Cup final into extra time - making it the fifth of the last six finals to extend beyond normal time - but that was not enough to hide Spain's superiority.
A "violent" quarrel between Spanish and Argentine players.
