Luis de la Fuente’s men dug deep to break the deadlock in the dying embers of the game, and that was enough to settle matters at MetLife Stadium.
Torres came on as a late substitute to administer a coup de grâce in the second half of extra time. A goal that was enough to beat La Albiceleste.
During an interview with FIFA host broadcasters in the mixed zone after the match, the Barcelona star said: “I think in the end the goal came from 47 million people (approximately the population of Spain), not just those of us that are here.”
“Today destiny was written. It was made for us to win. We’re far from our people today, but we tried to be as close as possible to them.
“Finals are hard. When you have Messi on the opposing team, you do get worried, but we always backed ourselves and tried to show our football, and I think we managed to do it once again.[Lionel]
“[It was] a huge relief [to score]. I’ve been criticised throughout the whole tournament, but as I said before, destiny was written.
“Thanks to God, he always gives me the strength to continue, and in the end he grants things to those that most deserve them.”
