Spain has only conceded one goal so far during the World Cup, yet France were the favourites heading into the semi-finals.
"There was some talk that the defence and the goalkeeper didn't play so well, but I think we silenced a lot of critics," said defender Pau Cubarsí according to Marca .
El País writes that "time stood still" when Spain once again made it to a championship final.
"The final whistle has thrown the country into a wave of euphoria, madness and happiness," the newspaper writes.
National team captain Luis de la Fuente had a hard time taking in the magnitude.
"What I feel must be something akin to the happiness and pride of an entire nation," he says, according to El Mundo .
On Instagram, Pedro Porro shares his joy:
"Together! Reaching the final with this special group means more than words can describe. One last step remains. We still have our feet on the ground, the concentration and the preparations required for what is to come. We are one," writes the 2-0 scorer.
"Absolutely crazy. See you in New York," defender Marc Cucurella writes on the platform.
In Madrid, thousands of fans took to the city centre to celebrate reaching the final. Police had to use batons to disperse the crowd, who celebrated by taking a dip in the famous Cibeles fountain.
