In this article, I will discuss the highly anticipated Finalissima, a thrilling clash between European and South American football powerhouses. This match will see the Euro 2024 winners, Spain, facing off against the Copa America 2024 champions, Argentina, in 2025. Although the exact date has yet to be announced, it’s an exciting event where the champions of Europe and South America clash. The Finalissima occurs whenever both the European Championship and Copa America are held, bringing together the best teams from each continent for an epic showdown.
In the upcoming soccer showdown, two of the best teams, featuring top players like Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi, will compete against each other. Both players are linked to Barcelona, with Messi being a legend of the past and Yamal representing the club’s future. Yamal has a promising career ahead with both the national team and Barcelona. Before the finals, he expressed to RAC1 his hope that Spain and Argentina would win their respective finals, allowing him to meet and compete against his childhood idol, Messi.
“I hope Messi wins the Copa América and I win the Euros, so I can play against him in the Finalissima,“ Yamal said.
Argentina secured their last Finalissima victory against Italy on June 1, 2022. With Di Maria now retired from international football, Argentina will face Spain in their next Finalissima without one of their star players.
