Spain won the World Cup by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA, with a solitary goal from Ferran Torres in the 106th minute of extra time. After the match, Trump presented the trophy to the champion team alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino on the awards podium.
When asked by a journalist after the event whether he felt bad about Argentina's loss, Trump said, 'No, I am not sad. Both teams played exceptionally well. But I felt Spain played better and deserved the win.'
The final was attended by politicians, diplomats, and sports personalities from around the world at MetLife Stadium. Alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Trump's presence was also a focal point of discussion. Special security measures were taken in and around the stadium for his safety.
The match was evenly contested. Neither team managed to score in the regulation 90 minutes. In extra time, amidst attacks and counterattacks from both sides, Torres's goal in the 106th minute ultimately decided the match.
With this victory, Spain won the World Cup for the second time after 2010. On the other hand, Argentina's hopes of becoming world champions for the second consecutive time were dashed.
Spain's success under coach Luis de la Fuente has added a new chapter to the country's football history. For Argentina, the final loss remains another disappointment after a long wait.
