Spain Wins 2026 World Cup with Torres Goal, Mbappe Claims Golden Boot

Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Ferran Torres scored the only goal, securing Spain's second World Cup title. The Spanish squad featured eight players from FC Barcelona, highlighting the club's continued influence on the national team. Meanwhile, France captain Kylian Mbappe made history by winning the Golden Boot for the second time in his career. Despite France finishing as runners-up in 2022, Mbappe topped the scoring charts in 2026. Controversy briefly emerged during the trophy ceremony when FIFA president Gianni Infantino was seen trying to usher former US President Donald Trump away from the pitch. The moment was captured by cameras but did not overshadow Spain's victory. Spain dominated possession and created several chances before Torres finally broke through in extra time. Argentina struggled to mount a response as the Spanish defense held firm. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In India, call the Tele-MANAS helpline on 14416.
