Our Read: Spain's Complete Team Beats Messi's Heart, One Last Time

Our pre-match lean favoured Spain on form, and it held: Rodri, Olmo and Fabian Ruiz controlled the game for long stretches, and once Enzo Fernandez's red card left Argentina a man light, Spain's extra-time depth -- Nico Williams' header, Ferran Torres finishing -- proved decisive. Messi, at 39 and playing his last World Cup by his own account, again played provider rather than finisher, but this time there was no late Argentina goal to inspire.

Editorial lean: Spain complete the tournament unbeaten and thoroughly deserved -- their second World Cup title after 2010.
