Ferran Torres, the hero of the match, expressed his belief that "destiny was written" for him and the Spain national team after scoring the decisive goal in the World Cup final against Argentina. The Barcelona forward netted the winner in extra time, leading Spain to a 1-0 victory and securing their second World Cup title.

Throughout the match, Spain dominated, showcasing their strength as the reigning European champions. It wasn't until the 106th minute that Torres found the net, converting a header from Nico Williams despite a series of impressive saves from Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Torres reflected on the significance of the moment, stating:

I think in the end the goal came from 47m people, not just those of us that are here. Today destiny was written, it was made for us to win.

He acknowledged the challenge posed by Lionel Messi, admitting to concerns but emphasized the team's self-belief and commitment to their style of play.

The match took a turn when Argentina's Enzo Fernandez was sent off just before extra time, leaving them with ten men. Despite their resilient defense, they struggled to create significant chances against a solid Spanish backline.

Coach Luis de la Fuente noted:

The match should have been decided much earlier... but this is a World Cup final and you have to dig deep even against ten men.

• He praised the team's attitude and their game plan to contain Messi and other threats.

Spain's triumph continues a remarkable period for the nation, as they also hold the Women’s World Cup title, highlighting a golden era for Spanish football.
