'Spain will win easily': Ronaldo makes bold Argentina prediction before WC final

Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario believes Spain will have too much quality for defending champions Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, backing Luis de la Fuente's side to secure a comfortable victory over Lionel Messi's team. Spain and Argentina will meet at the New York, New Jersey Stadium on Sunday in the 104th and final match of the expanded tournament. La Roja head into the showpiece unbeaten in 37 matches and having conceded just one goal in seven World Cup outings, while Argentina are chasing a fourth world title and hoping to become the first men's team since Brazil in 1962 to successfully defend the trophy. Speaking to ESPN Brasil before the final, Ronaldo made his prediction clear. "I think Spain will win the game - and easily," Ronaldo said.
