‘We had a date with destiny’: De la Fuente lauds Spain players after World Cup victory

Manager says team and and fans ‘deserve everything’ ‘It hurts my soul’: Scaloni to consider Argentina future Spain’s manager, Luis de la Fuente, hailed his players for fulfilling what he described as “their destiny” by winning a second World Cup final against 10-man Argentina.
