Spain’s triumphant World Cup champions have arrived back in Madrid ahead of an extravagant trophy parade through the streets of the capital, while Argentina were left to return home in disgrace following the ugly scenes at the end of their final defeat in New Jersey.
Spain have plenty to celebrate after Ferran Torres’ goal secured their second men’s World Cup triumph, and it was victory for football too after Argentina offered little throughout the match and then reacted badly after the final whistle. Fifa are set to investigate the post-match scenes before deciding whether to take additional disciplinary action.
