00:00But let's go to see how people in Barcelona, they are reacting, they are expecting this big match.
00:05It's the second time Spain is going to be in the final.
00:08Andres Flores is over there. Andres, go ahead.
00:13Exactly. Here in Spain, of course, all the attention is focused on this World Cup final.
00:20On this opportunity, Spain has to win a second star in its jersey, 16 years after South Africa 2010.
00:28It's a defining moment for the Spanish national team, La Roja, and the entire country is following it closely.
00:38We've seen it in different places where people have gathered around giant screens to watch the match,
00:43and in various public squares where neighbors themselves have organized ways to watch it together so they can go out
00:48and celebrate afterward.
00:52It has to be said that this excitement really took off after that 2-0 semi-final victory over France.
01:00France was undoubtedly one of the most feared and strongest teams, and Spain beat them 2-0.
01:08Reaching the World Cup final in that way made it especially meaningful,
01:12and it has given supporters, fans, and the Spanish faithful the feeling that they are very, very close to winning
01:18this World Cup.
01:20Of course, there is also a great deal of caution regarding the opponent,
01:24because the opponent is none other than the current world champion, Argentina.
01:29So there is also an understanding that Spain will have to face a match
01:33that requires not only tactics and quality of play, but also physical endurance.
01:40We've seen that a good number of Argentina's matches have gone to extra time,
01:45and that also demands tremendous physical stamina.
01:50It's also worth highlighting that many of the people we've spoken to here
01:54point to the strength of Spain's defense,
01:57mentioning it as one of the team's biggest advantages.
02:01To sum it up, I would say the mood is one of nerves, respect for the opponent,
02:05and, above all, tremendous excitement about playing in this World Cup final.
02:09Back to you in the studio.
