"I think Spain wins, and easily. They have always been favorites, alongside France", declared the two-time world champion.
The final pits two of the main teams in world football face to face. On one side is Argentina, current world champion, led by Lionel Messi. On the other, Spain is trying to win the second world title in its history with a generation that has been attracting attention for its performance throughout the competition.
When explaining his prediction, Ronaldo highlighted the game identity built by the Spanish over the years. For the former player, the national team's style is part of the athletes' training from the youth teams onwards.
"Spain plays excellent football. They have that in their DNA. They've played like that for many years, they've done it since they were little," he said.
Despite betting on the Spanish title, Ronaldo also praised Argentina's World Cup campaign. The team led by Lionel Scaloni secured a place in the final after defeating England 2-1 in the semi-final.
"They had a very beautiful story in this World Cup. Argentina is a team that demonstrates a very beautiful spirit of overcoming and race, but Spain is very automated. They know what they need to do at each moment", he added.
Spain and Argentina compete in the World Cup final this Sunday (19), at 4pm (Brasília time). The duel brings together two powerhouses of international football and pits Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal face to face, players who represent different generations and who will be protagonists in the dispute for the most important trophy in world football.
