Lamine Yamal set to face Lionel Messi in Finalissima 2025
In Finalissima 2025, Lamine Yamal will take on Lionel Messi, while Spain will play Argentina.
Following Spain’s triumph over England in the Euro 2024 championship match, Argentina defeated Colombia to reclaim the Copa America trophy.
The two teams will compete for the trophy in 2025 after these two victories, securing the 2025 Finalissima.
The match is highly anticipated, especially since Lionel Messi will be against Lamine Yamal.
The teenager from Barcelona has previously stated that he wants it to happen. “I hope Messi wins the Copa América and I win the Euros, so I can play against him in the Finalissima,” he said to reporters during the competition.
They haven’t yet crossed paths on the field. Actually, the only true instance of their meeting that we are aware of was during a newborn photo shoot; these images have been going viral for the past two weeks.
During Euro 2024, Yamal was a standout performer for Spain, earning four assists and the Young Player of the Tournament title.
While all of this was going on, Messi helped Argentina successfully defend their Copa America crown and increased the amount of trophies in his collection.
Having won 45 trophies so far, Messi is guaranteed to overtake Dani Alves as the most decorated player in history.
