Seville, Spain - Spain claimed a fifth Davis Cup title in a dozen years on Sunday as Rafael Nadal rallied to secure a 3-1 victory as he beat Juan Del Potro 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (7-0).
More than 20,000 mainly Spanish fans erupted in wild celebrations in the stands of the Olympic Stadium as the world number two recovered from a set down at the start to impose his game on the 2009 US Open champion.
Spain previously won the competition in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2009, while Argentina have now lost all four finals in which they participated.
