Spanish World Cup hero: God always rewards those who deserve it most

Ferran Torres, the match-winner for Spain in the World Cup final against Argentina, believes the victory was preordained. He scored the decisive goal in the 1-0 win during extra time, fulfilling what he described as destiny.

“

Destiny was written in advance. It was meant for us to win.

Speaking after the match in New Jersey, Torres expressed gratitude, stating, "Destiny was written in advance. It was meant for us to win." He added, "Thank God. He always gives me the strength to continue, and in the end, he always rewards those who deserve it most."

Torres acknowledged the criticism he faced during the tournament but remained confident, attributing his success to a higher power. Spain dominated the final, holding a significant advantage in possession and chances. The shot statistics reflected this dominance, with Spain recording 20 shots to Argentina's mere two during the 120 minutes of play.

“

Thank God. He always gives me the strength to continue, and in the end, he always rewards those who deserve it most.

Despite facing a formidable opponent like Lionel Messi, Torres emphasized Spain's self-belief and their commitment to playing their own game. This World Cup triumph marks Spain's second world title, coming 16 years after their first. With this victory, the Spanish national team now holds both the World Cup and European Championship titles simultaneously.

“

Finals are difficult. When you have Lionel Messi on the opposing team, you are naturally worried, but we always had faith in ourselves and tried to play our game, and I think we showed that again.
