Pass. Move. Possess. Repeat. Lose ball. Win ball back. Repeat. Spain's technical ability and IQ are off the charts. Harassed Argentina all day defensively. Winning a Euros-World Cup double is a rare feat. They're the NEXT GREAT national team. #ESPARG #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup

Barcelona's influence on both European club/international soccer really can't be understated in this 21st century. The fútbol DNA of La Masia and Barcelona is represented all in the World Cup final. #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup #ARGESP #ArgentinaVsEspaña

Since joining Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé has NEVER beaten Lamine Yamal in a knockout game, both for France and Real Madrid! 🤯❌

Simply, Spain has France's number. Three straight wins in major international tournaments against them. And Yamal continues to get the better versus Mbappe for club and country. #Soccer #WorldCup #Spain #FIFA

Superb by Spain today. Harassed France with their ability to win the ball all over the pitch and the way they pass, move and possess the ball is just high-end. Zero shots on target for France. They had the right formula to beat the French. #WorldCup #Spain #WC2026

Cucurella, Laporte, Cubarsi, Porro, Rodri and Simon all exceptional today for Spain.
