Champions of the world: Spain outclass Argentina and break Messi's heart in the final
Spain are champions of the world. Substitute Ferran Torres struck the only goal in extra time as Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to win their second World Cup and end Lionel Messi's fairytale. Spain were utterly dominant, Argentina failing to muster a single shot on target and surviving only through Emiliano Martínez's record 11 saves, before Ferran's 106th-minute winner. Enzo Fernández was sent off; Mbappé, watching from home, takes the Golden Boot.
