After 16 years! Spain reclaims the World Cup title, leaving Argentina with no regrets in the end.

MetLife Stadium in New Jersey hosted the ultimate World Cup final.

Spain, winners of the 2010 South Africa tournament, took on defending champions Argentina, enduring a grueling 120-minute contest.

In the 106th minute of extra time, Nico Williams used a header back to break through Argentina's defense, and Ferran Torres calmly slotted home the decisive goal, the only one of the game.

Winning 1-0, they lifted the World Cup trophy for the first time in 16 years, securing their second championship in history.

For defending champions Argentina and Messi's fans, the outcome carries regret, but the journey itself does not.

After all, Spain firmly controlled the tempo, dominating with over 60% possession.

They unleashed 20 shots on goal, only to be denied by Dibu Martínez's 9 incredible saves.

The deadlock forced the match into extra time.

Playing with a man down for an extended period, it was already quite impressive to drag the game into extra time.

Not to mention shooting—under Spain's tight midfield interception and wing restrictions, Argentina's attacking system was almost completely paralyzed, with forwards struggling to gain effective possession, and Messi unable to shine.

So, in summary:

The better team won, and Spain's victory is well deserved.

Don't forget, they conceded just one goal throughout the entire World Cup.

That's real strength and confidence.

Looking back at the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

We still remember Andrés Iniesta's extra-time winner, which brought Spain their first World Cup trophy and launched the golden era of La Roja.

Now, 16 years later on the US-Mexico-Canada stage, the same extra-time winner scenario has repeated.

Time cycles, and legends are replicated.

Congratulations to the Matadors!

Finally, for Messi, whose legendary career is drawing to a close.

After fulfilling his dream in Qatar, there are no regrets left.

Fans truly never expected him to lead the team to the final again on the US-Mexico-Canada stage.

Accept the outcome calmly; after all, we must embrace a new day of life.
