Spain wins the 2026 World Cup: how a winning idea beat a side with no margin for error
Spain were crowned world champions on 19 July 2026, with Indian Express analysis pointing to a coherent tactical idea rather than individual brilliance as the decisive edge.

Desk note: Monexus framed the final around the tactical structure described by The Indian Express rather than around individual match ratings, which BBC Sport had not yet published at the time of writing. Where the wire's player-rating prompt invites a personal-scoring exercise, Monexus treats the result as a question about system design, not about who deserved a 7.4.
