We would've won final much earlier, Martínez's saves delayed it: Spain head coach

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente praised Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez after Spain's FIFA World Cup 2026 final win. "The match should have been decided much earlier...[but] Dibu's (Martínez) great saves prevented us from winning sooner," he said. Martínez made 11 saves, the most by a goalkeeper in a World Cup final since record-keeping began in 1966.
