Argentina was divorced. After 16 years, Spain returned to world champion. 'La Roja' defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final in New Jersey after 120 minutes. In 'MetLife', the Iberians were dominant in the final in keeping the ball from the first minute to the end, but goalkeeper Dibu Martinez made it difficult for them to win the most glorious trophy in world football.
The balance would be broken in the final minutes of regulation time, when Enzo Fernandez left Argentina with 10 men due to a second yellow card. As a result, Spain's attacks increased fearfully in extra time, while after 11 crucial saves, Dibu Martinez was defeated by Ferran Torres, who will be remembered long in the history of this national team.
Before Torres' goal, Spain had another goal by Williams disallowed for an attacking foul, but if the story of the final had gone differently, this episode could have been talked about for many years.
In the end, there was great celebration in Spain and great disappointment in Argentina, who became the first national team to end the World Cup with 3 red cards and zero shots on goal after 90 minutes. This record was held by Argentina in the 1990 final against West Germany. Undoubtedly, the most touching moment was the tears of Messi, who in all likelihood will not play in the World Cup again.
With tears in his eyes, coach Lionel Scaloni also announced that he will leave Argentina in December. Meanwhile, in Spain, coach De La Fuente said that he 'feels extremely happy and proud to lead these talented boys'. Meanwhile, Spain's new hero, Ferran Torres, said that 'during the game it is impossible not to be nervous when you have Messi in front of you, but in the end we managed to write history'.

The 'Golden Boot', as the top scorer of the World Cup, went to Mbappe with 10 goals, 2 more than Lionel Messi. The achievement of Yamal, who became the first teenager at the age of 19 to win the World Cup and the European Championship, was also historic.
