Ferran Torres credits faith after firing Spain to second star against Argentina | OneFootball

Ferran Torres will go down as the man who delivered Spain’s second star, turning in Nico Williams’ far-post knock-down to beat Argentina, echoing Andrés Iniesta in 2010.

The forward from Foios was the first to speak after the match, admitting he had been heavily criticised during the World Cup and crediting his faith for the strength to carry on.

Reflecting on the final, he said all finals are difficult and that facing Messi brings extra nerves, yet Spain trusted themselves and had to suffer until the end.

Named MVP of the final, the Barcelona player dedicated the goal to 47 million people, adding that he felt destiny was written and it was meant for Spain to win.

From minute one to 120, Spain kept pushing and emerged deserved champions.
