Spain dominated almost the entire match in the final held on Sunday, but scored only during extra time, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute.
However, that was enough for Luis de la Fuente’s team to defeat Argentina 1-0 and become the strongest on the planet for the second time.
In the final, one of the brightest personalities of the current Spanish generation, Lamine Yamal, who at just 19 years old can already boast both European and world champion titles, spent the entire 120 minutes on the field.
However, the young “Barcelona” star’s triumph at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey could not be witnessed by his father Mounir Nasraoui.
He revealed that he decided to stay home because he was afraid of a possible seizure. Lamine Yamal’s father, originally from Morocco, suffers from epilepsy.

“I have to take a lot of medication every day because I could have an epileptic seizure,” said M. Nasraoui, who is only 34 years old. “I could have gone to the US, but due to stress and emotions, I could have a seizure, so I have to think everything through.
Before traveling, I have to think about myself, my son, and the other people around me because I could cause problems for everyone. That’s why it’s better for me to stay home and watch the match remotely.”
Lamine Yamal, who became world champion, was supported in the United States by his mother Sheila Ebana and his footballer brother Keyne – a very young boy famous for his emotions in the stands and cute moments on the field after matches.
