Torres Helps Spain Lift Trophy

Torres’ extra-time strike gave Spain its second World Cup crown after Argentina played with 10 men.

  • On Sunday, July 19, 2026, Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to lift Spain to its second FIFA World Cup title with a 1-0 extra-time victory over 10-man Argentina.
  • Spain's title follows victories in the 2024 European Championship and 2023 Nations League, cementing the team's dominant era in international football.
  • Argentina's goalkeeper made 11 saves, but Torres hammered a half-volley at the back post during the second period of extra time to break the deadlock.
  • The victory capped the best scoring season of his career, with Torres stating, "It was meant for us to win," confirming his status as Spain's key talent.
  • While his professional future remains tied to Barcelona through a contract running until June 2027, his current deal reportedly carries a €1 billion release clause.
