00:07The Day On Which They Dreamt That Their Flag Would Be Unfurled
00:15The Sensification Here Is Reach Out And Touch
00:24the final match
00:26La Roja
00:28La Albi Celeste
00:34Spain in search of their second star
00:37a team so complete
00:39the epitome of sporting balance
00:52La Minya Mar, remember, has won all 12 senior tournament games
00:56in which he has started.
00:58Mikel Oyathabel has five goals in the competition,
01:01one more, and he sets a new Spanish record.
01:06Messi's minder and Nico Gonzalez for his first World Cup start
01:10come in for Simeone and Paredes.
01:13Messi himself becomes the first man to captain any nation
01:16in three World Cup finals.
01:23The day a planet stops for a game
01:26for every nation, for two nations.
01:30Nine o'clock at the end of a steaming hot Sunday in Madrid.
01:33Four o'clock on a dark winter's afternoon in Buenos Aires.
01:37Three o'clock on an idyllic day
01:40by the banks of the Hudson River.
01:41He famously had the final kick of the last World Cup final.
01:46Danny Olmo, oh, lovely feet from him.
01:51aimed in towards Olmo, and now Yamal!
01:56and Emi Martinez left a foot behind to make the save.
02:03Gianni Infantino alongside the President of the United States.
02:07Donald Trump, beautiful first touch.
02:09That is gorgeous, and he's worrying Taliafico in by Lamal
02:13and wrapped up by Emi Martinez.
02:16Spain have yielded relatively few shots over the course.
02:20Matt Doman, another amongst the cast of stars
02:23who had to have a front-row ticket for the World Cup final
02:26in New York, New Jersey.
02:31What a sight, that is.
02:32to how much responsibility Lionel Scolini must feel.
02:38Beiner.
02:40Rodri Ruiz.
02:46Lamal.
02:48Gonzalez helping out his full-back.
02:50Lamal rolling it in towards Olmo.
02:52Nice thought.
03:01Ruiz.
03:06Kukurea!
03:08Dragged it right across the face.
03:16Halftime, and it is blank in the blistering sunshine of New Jersey.
03:212026 World Cup final, still to have its take-off moment,
03:26and it remains Spain nil.
03:39So, nothing to show on a blissfully beautiful day in New Jersey.
03:45Indeed, the United States of America has still to see a goal
03:48in a World Cup final.
03:50Beiner.
03:54Molina tight.
03:56Kukurea.
03:57Pedri allowed to go.
03:59Pedri.
04:01Olmo!
04:03Martinez spilt.
04:06And Spain have a corner.
04:10Lamal, he's got between a pair of them.
04:13Lamal Torres!
04:18Into the waiting arms of Williams.
04:22Pedri.
04:26Kukurea.
04:27Pedri.
04:30Ferran Torres.
04:32Kukurea.
04:33Rodri.
04:36Pedri!
04:39Martinez is behind it again.
04:40When Yamal gets in that penalty area.
04:45Kukurea!
04:46Martinez!
04:49It's still alive.
04:51Behind it.
04:55Kukurea.
04:57Yeah.
04:58Awkward for him.
04:59He'd have got long odds on Paul Kubasi to score the first goal of the World Cup final.
05:06Pedri.
05:07He's made a difference.
05:08Pedri seems coming on.
05:10Slep touch from Marino.
05:11Slep touch from Marino.
05:11Out comes McAllister.
05:13No foul by Rodri.
05:19And indeed, there is a booking here for Enzo Fernandez.
05:23For what must have been interpreted as dramatics.
05:30And there are many of the class of 2010.
05:35The ones who lifted it.
05:36The class of Cassias and Ramos.
05:39Let's see again.
05:40Fernandez.
05:41Lionel Messi.
05:43Couldn't tiptoe through.
05:47Stoken back by Medina.
05:50Simeone across goal.
05:52And Simon can fall on it.
05:54Porro.
05:56It's come to Williams.
06:01Who's had a hit?
06:02Parried by Martinez.
06:08Oh, that's a fair collision on halfway as well.
06:11Enzo Fernandez went through him.
06:13And Enzo Fernandez...
06:15is walking.
06:22That's no good waving your hand.
06:24You've got to get off.
06:25No matter what.
06:28Anybody thinks...
06:30it looked like...
06:35One moment.
06:36One kick.
06:39Jamal hit the wall.
06:41In his last attempt.
06:44Lamin, Jamal!
06:46Oh, what a save!
06:48Emi Martinez made quite a journey.
06:53We'd argue it's he's half of the goal.
06:56Nevertheless...
06:57Pedri.
06:58Williams.
06:59In when...
07:00Kubasi.
07:01The final whistle.
07:03Only...
07:03it is not the final whistle.
07:06It is merely a moment to pause for thought and reflect on a match-saving stop for Argentina.
07:13It remains.
07:14Spain nil.
07:15Argentina nil.
07:22The goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, has made ten saves.
07:26That is the most by any keeper.
07:29Then loses it to Lamal.
07:33Pedri.
07:34Williams.
07:35Oh, Martinez again.
07:38A chance spurred.
07:39Pedri.
07:40With a little dink.
07:41Oh, he virtually gets nothing.
07:45Porro.
07:46Ferran Torres.
07:47Merino.
07:49Merino.
07:50Williams!
07:55Celebration cut short.
08:07Merino tread on.
08:09Who's it?
08:10Ottomansi's foot.
08:11Well, there.
08:13There.
08:17I'm not sure what he's given here.
08:20Can't be that.
08:22Cannot be that.
08:29What?
08:30Should be Mendy.
08:33Pedri.
08:34Missed out Kukurea.
08:35Came to Williams.
08:37And Williams played it in.
08:39And Merino headed wide.
08:42He's quite incredible.
08:44They're not going to lie down.
08:57So, half-time in extra time.
09:01It's in the last 16.
09:02Mikel Moreno, 88 to win it against Belgium.
09:07Messi gets the ball rolling again.
09:12Molina forward.
09:14And Molina again.
09:17Raminya Mal.
09:20Pedro Porro.
09:21Williams.
09:23And thundered in for Spain.
09:25By Ferran Torres.
09:33At last.
09:35At long, long last.
09:38Spain's magic moment.
09:53He wants to miss.
09:54He's got time to think about it.
09:56Ferran Torres.
09:56It's easy to knock it over the bank.
09:58Messi now must conjure something.
10:04Smashed up towards Simeone.
10:09Oh, Torres is on his way here.
10:11Ferran Torres all by himself.
10:14And the flag is up at his expense.
10:21Trying to bend his run.
10:23Again.
10:24Millimetres in it.
10:28Argentina's second quarter of the match.
10:30Messi with it.
10:33Messi to loft it in onto the roof of the net.
10:41Messi works it.
10:43And now Messi wriggles.
10:45It's Simeone.
10:46Oh, it's so mighty, mighty close.
10:51Silesi threw in his frame.
10:56Messi to the near post.
10:58And it is lifted up and over and out of play in a breathless moment.
11:06Cup final.
11:09Loaded in by Martinez.
11:11Spain made first contact.
11:14Ferran Torres away.
11:15Spain are the champions.
11:19Spain have seized their second star.
11:25The kings of Europe have conquered the world.
11:30And who would dispute that they are worthy?
11:36Into his 40th year.
11:38Comes up this time just short.
11:41He has just scored the winning goal in the World Cup final.
11:46Spain have beaten Argentina by one goal to nil.
11:53In 2026, the champions of the world are Spain!
12:11Spain!
12:26Viva España!
