In this video, we trace the entire high-stakes journey of the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina right here in Manhattan.

From there, we navigate the building tension across the city, from the passionate fan pockets at Madison Square Garden and Times Square, all the way to the explosive final celebrations in Hudson Yards as Spain takes home the trophy Timestamps: 00:00 - Preview 00:10 - The Great Lawn at Central Park 04:36 - Spain at Madison Sqaure Garden 05:26 - Argentina at Times Square 08:40 - The next day at Central Park 11:25 - Fans of Argentina at Times Square again 12:07 - Penn Station W33rd Street 12:32 - Hudson Yards 13:02 - Thousands of fans watching the game 13:37 - Spain scores 1 13:57 - 10 seconds left of the game
