Argentina's 1-0 extra-time defeat to Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final has drawn comparisons with its 1990 loss to West Germany, with both matches reflecting one-sided performances despite identical scorelines. Spain dominated possession and chances throughout, while Argentina failed to register a shot until the 117th minute, after Ferran Torres' 106th-minute winner. Lionel Messi, outstanding throughout the tournament, endured his quietest display, echoing Diego Maradona's subdued 1990 final after his iconic 1986 campaign. Argentina also finished with 10 men after Enzo Fernandez's late red card, though Spain's superiority had been evident from the opening whistle. The defeat ended Argentina's title defence in emphatic fashion. (PC: Iconsport / GPG)

The move comes as his hunger strike enters a critical phase, with supporters urging dialogue between the government and protesters.
