Copa America winners Argentina will take on Euro 2024 spinners in what would be a high-octane contest in Finalissima 2025. The contest will see the legendary Lionel Messi take on young prodigy Lamine Yamal in what will be a dream duel. Both Messi and Yamal are standout products of Barcelona’s academy and will clash in what will be a contest between ‘master’ and student.
Messi vs Yamal clash set for Finalissima 2025
The last time the two met was during a photoshoot for a charitable calender in 2007 when Yamal was still a baby and Messi was seen posing with the toddler. 17 years later, they will once again meet – this time in the Finalissima 2025 where ARG will take on ESP.
Messi & Yamal’s road to Finalissima tie
Since his breakthrough for Barcelona, Yamal’s name has been on the lips of every football fan. He has dazzled and shined brightly, stitching up 4 assists and a solitary goal in the Euro 2024. The 17-year-old played a cruical role in Spain’s road to the title, igniting hopes of a possible legend in the making.
Lionel Messi on the other hand might have played his last Copa America for Argentina. The star finished the tournament on a high-note as ARG clinched the trophy despite Messi being subbed off in between the game owing to an injury to his ankle. Messi was seen weeping inconsolably as he sat on the benches and looked on as Argentina were in the hunt for a goal in the final against Colombia.
