Spain are world champions once again, and Lionel Messi's chase for a second World Cup has ended in New Jersey. Substitute Ferran Torres struck in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina, sealing the nation's second world title following their triumph in 2010.
The win came against a backdrop of near-total Spanish control, an Argentina side reduced to ten men, and an emotional final chapter for one of football's greatest players. It also handed a new generation of Spanish talent, led by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, the sport's biggest prize.
