The winners are those 'that played football': Spanish fans celebrate World Cup win

Spanish pride on full display as La Roja were crowned world champions, fans celebrated in New York City's Times Square. Just across the Hudson River, their national squad had controlled the World Cup final from start to finish but stayed stymied by Argentina's iron defense until extra time when Spain's Ferran Torres broke through with a shot off a header from teammate Nico Williams to score in the 106th minute to the immense pride of their compatriots. The team that won was the team that played football with fair play as a real team with values, humility and fighting for every ball. That's Spain. The 1-0 victory securing a second star for the Spanish jersey and confirming La Roja as football's undisputed top national side. In these last two games we play an amazing football. We dominate both games. We create a lot of chances. We control the game. We concede nothing. So I think we play an amazing football. We deserve this trophy. Argentina down a man in extra time after Enzo Fernandez was sent off with a red card, the Alba Celeste getting off only two shots on goal the entire night. For coach Leonel Scarroni, an emotional defeat as it may be the end of the road for him. A bitter pill for star Leonel Messi too, in what is almost certainly his final World Cup appearance.
