My prediction is:
Spain 2–1 Argentina (after 90 minutes).
Goalscorers:
🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal
🇪🇸 Mikel Oyarzabal
🇦🇷 Lionel Messi
Why I lean toward Spain:
Spain have been outstanding defensively throughout the tournament, conceding very few goals while controlling games with possession.
Argentina have shown incredible resilience and attacking quality, especially through Messi, but they've had to work much harder to reach the final.
That said, this is a true 50–50 final. If Messi produces another magical performance, Argentina could absolutely retain the trophy.
If I had to make one final call:
Winner: Spain 🏆
Score: 2–1
First goalscorer: Lamine Yamal
Player of the Match: Lamine Yamal.
