PRENSA Internacional REACCIONA a ESPAÑA CAMPEON del MUNDO 2026

In the end, Spain proved too much for an Argentina side that arrived at the final severely limited. Spain was simply too much for Argentina, ultimately winning 1-0 in extra time and securing their second star as champions of the 2026 World Cup. La Roja brought an end to an epic run by the Albiceleste, who had achieved the impossible to reach the final, but also drained their energy and left them weakened for the decisive match. Argentina once again demonstrated their greatness. Lionel Scaloni's team came from behind to defeat England 2-1 and qualify for another World Cup final in 2026, where they will face a Spain side that advanced after eliminating France. The highly anticipated Finalísima is now a reality. The international press didn't want this final, and Closs is defending South American football against the international media and football establishment.
