There will indeed be a confrontation between Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal. The two players will compete in a match between Argentina and Spain on behalf of Finalissima.
A meeting between the winner of Copa America against that of the Euro. Albiceleste will have the opportunity to keep its title if successful. The partners of Lionel Messi won in June 2022 against Italy on the score of 3 goals to 0.
The exact date is not yet fixed
The exact date of the poster – initially planned in 2025 – is not yet confirmed but it will be held the third week of March 2026 in a place to be determined, announces the Argentinian media TyC Sports. A few weeks ago, the presidents of the Argentine and Spanish federations, Claudio Tapia and Rafael Louzán, agreed to program the match between March 17 and 25, 2026, two and a half months before the start of the next World Cup (June 11-July 19) in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
However, these dates remain suspended from one condition: that the Roja qualifies directly for the World Cup without going through the dams. Argentina, a large leader of the AMSUD qualification group, has already validated its ticket for the World Cup last March. Spain has not yet started qualifying because of its presence in the Final Four of the last League of Nations (defeat in the final against Portugal during the penalty shootout).
