Spain is now one step away from World Cup glory, with Lamine Yamal and the national team heading to Sunday's final at MetLife Stadium. The buildup centers on a Spanish side that has moved through one of the tournament's biggest tests and now has a chance to finish the job on one of the sport's biggest stages.
Spain reached the title match by beating France on Tuesday in Dallas, ending any possibility of a repeat of the 2022 World Cup final. That result sent Spain into the championship game and kept the focus on a squad that has continued to generate attention throughout the tournament.
Yamal remains one of the headline names as Spain prepares for the decisive match. His presence adds even more intrigue to a final that will draw major attention, especially with MetLife Stadium serving as the setting for the tournament's closing act.
With the title on the line, Spain enters the weekend knowing a single victory would complete its run. After getting past France, the team now turns its attention to the final opportunity standing between it and the World Cup trophy.
