Spain vs Argentina: Watch the Historic World Cup Final

Game Overview

Two of soccer’s most passionate nations will meet in what promises to be an instant classic. Spain is hunting a rare double‑Crown, aiming to join Brazil as the only countries to win back‑to‑back titles, a feat last achieved in 1958 and 1962. Argentina comes in riding offensive momentum, led by Lionel Messi, who tops the tournament with eight goals and four assists.

Spain’s defense has been nearly airtight, allowing just one goal throughout the competition. The two sides have squared off 14 times previously, each securing six victories with two draws. Their last World Cup clash dated to 1966, when Argentina triumphed 2‑1.
