Ferran Torres said his World Cup-winning goal for Spain on Sunday belonged to “47 million people, not just me or the 26 players”.
The Barcelona forward scored in the second period of extra-time as Spain finally broke down 10-man Argentina to win 1-0 at the MetLife Stadium.
“Ultimately, the goal belongs to 47 million people — not just me or the 26 players,” said Torres, referring to Spain’s approximate population.
“It was written in the stars that we would win far away from our people, yet we made them feel as close as possible,” added Torres, who was named player of the match despite coming off the bench.
