World Cup 2026 Final: Laporta reveals only reason Spain won't beat Argentina

Barcelona president Joan Laporta said the only factor that could prevent Spain from defeating Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final is the referee's inability to manage the match effectively. He stated that if the referee stands firm against intimidation, Spain would have a significant opportunity to win. Laporta asserted that La Roja has a superior squad and eliminated Austria, Portugal, Belgium, and France to reach the final. The final is scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
