Ferran Torres eventually delivered the decisive goal that secured Spain’s second World Cup trophy.
The victory completed an outstanding tournament for a Spanish team built around possession, defensive discipline and exceptional squad depth.

By overcoming the defending champions, Spain confirmed its return as one of the dominant forces in world football.
