Spain join exclusive club of 6 countries after World Cup final win over Argentina

1

Luis de la Fuente’s Spanish national team has on Sunday evening etched its name indellibly into the history books of international football.

This comes owing to their hard-fought World Cup final victory over Argentina.

La Roja played their part in the grandest fixture in all of football a short time ago. After battling past tournament favourites France in the semi-finals, the Spanish were pitted against the might of world champions Argentina in the showpiece fixture.

And when all was said and done in an affair which was at times a frankly tough watch, the European champions emerged deserved victors.

Deep into extra time, Barcelona star Ferran Torres slotted a fine left-footed strike into the roof of the Argentine net, enough for a 1-0 triumph.

And owing to as much, Spain have secured for themselves a place in an exclusive World Cup club.

La Roja are now one of just six countries to have won international football’s biggest competition on more than one occasion.

Countries to win multiple World Cups:

Brazil (5)
Germany (4)
Italy (4)
Argentina (3)
France (2)
Uruguay (2)

And now, Spain. pic.twitter.com/KtRDUU0hDb
