On Sunday night, Spain defeated the defending champions Argentina by 1-0 and thus won the trophy for the second time. Argentina had dreams of retaining the championship title but those hopes were dashed against all odds. Lionel Messi, an Argentine star player, was seen crying during the match. Messi was not playing actively in the match and hence, he did not show off his talent. There is now a video going viral on social media about Messi crying.

This was the second victory for Spain after 2010. The goal scored by Spain was scored in the 106th minute of the match by the substitute player Ferran Torres. Spain completely dominated the match played in New Jersey Stadium, New York as the number of shots on goal was 20 while for Argentina the same was just one. This was mainly because of Argentina’s forward players who did not score a single goal.

Torres's 106th-minute goal gave Spain the lead; no further goals were scored, and Spain emerged as the new champion. A scuffle broke out between the Argentine and Spanish players after the match, but teammates intervened to defuse the situation.

This is considered to be Lionel Messi's final World Cup. He has scored 21 goals in World Cup history, making him the second-highest scorer; only Kylian Mbappé has scored more, with 22 goals. In this World Cup, Messi recorded 8 goals and 4 assists, earning the Silver Boot. He also missed out on the 'Player of the Tournament' award, which went to Spain's Rodri.

In the history of the FIFA World Cup, there are 21 players who have won the title two or more times. Topping this list is the legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé, who won the title in 1958, 1962, and 1970. Messi won his first title in 2022 but missed out on winning it in 2026.
