Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal lead reaction to Spain's World Cup win - ESPN

For the first time since 2010, Spain are World Cup champions.

Ferran Torres' goal in the 106th minute Sunday was the difference for the Spanish, who defeated Argentina 1-0 at New York/New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The goal had been coming for Spain, who held Argentina without a shot the entirety of regular time and finished the game with a 20-to-2 shot differential.

The final win means Spain are now reigning champions of the World Cup and the UEFA European Championship, which they won in 2024. Spain also won the 2008 Euro before winning the World Cup in 2010. Per ESPN Research, this marks the third time the reigning Euro champion also won the next World Cup (2008-10 Spain and 1972-74 West Germany).

Notable names from around the sports world and beyond chimed in to congratulate Spain on their victory, including two Spanish tennis greats: Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal.

VAMOOOOOOOS ESPAÑA!!! ⭐️⭐️
