Reacting to the result, Amitabh wrote that every champion eventually faces defeat but their legacy remains intact.
He wrote, "the game .. over .. Spain the Champions and Messi lost .. tears of emotion .. sad .. but the day comes for every champion .. as you turn the corner, you find there are others better than you .. accept the love that came your way .. rest in that glory... (sic)."

The final remained goalless after 90 minutes before substitute Ferran Torres emerged as the match-winner in the 106th minute. The forward converted Nico Williams' headed assist with a powerful left-footed strike that beat Emiliano Martinez and sealed Spain's second FIFA World Cup title, their first since their historic triumph in 2010.
Spain controlled possession for most of the contest and created several opportunities, but Martinez kept Argentina in the game with a series of crucial saves. Argentina, meanwhile, struggled to break through Spain's disciplined defence, with captain Lionel Messi finding few clear openings during the match.
