"The team was the better side in the final … Argentina, like all the other teams in the tournament except Belgium, couldn’t score against Spain, who have only conceded one goal in their eight World Cup matches.
It’s a spectacular record. It’s unprecedented in the World Cup for a winning team," said José I Pérez.
Writing in La Vanguardia, Jordi Basté reflected on how the team's persistence cut through external distractions at the tournament.
"If a Martian had landed on Earth yesterday and turned on the television, he would scarcely have guessed that the World Cup final was about to begin," said Jordi Basté.
The writer highlighted the purity of the sport amidst various high-profile events.
"He would have thought he was watching the opening of a casino or billionaires’ convention," said Jordi Basté.
