Spain are European and World champions after an extra time strike from Ferran Torres secured a 1-0 victory over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final.
Luis de la Fuente unsurprisingly named an unchanged side from the one that produced a sensational performance to beat France 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Lionel Scaloni made three alterations from Argentina's dramatic 2-1 semi-final win against England and the stage was set for a thrilling contest between two football heavyweights.
After a relatively cagey start, Spain started to dominate proceedings from around the midway point of the first half and that pattern followed from then until the end of extra time.
Spain's dominance was underlined by the fact Argentina didn't have a single a single shot on target throughout the whole 120 minutes.
Goalkeeper Emi Martinez was undoubtedly Argentina's star man as he made save after save to keep his country in the World Cup final - including a superb stop from Lamine Yamal's free-kick in the last minute of normal time.
Lionel Scaloni's side were even more under the cosh after midfielder Enzo Fernandez became the sixth player to receive a red card in a World Cup final.
When Mikel Merino headed wide from just six yards in extra time, the Spanish fans may have thought it wasn't going to be their day, but the decisive moment happened on 106 minutes.
Pedro Porro crossed the ball to the back post, Nico Williams kept it alive and nodded it down to Ferran Torres who smashed the ball into the roof of the net to spark wild scenes of Spain jubilation.
Argentina did throw caution to the wind in the closing stages, but Spain stood firm and fully deserved to win the World Cup for a second time.
