The “Finalissima” — a battle between the Copa América champions and the Euro 2020 winners — brought two footballing giants face to face at the iconic Wembley Stadium. Under the London night sky, the world witnessed Argentina’s total dominance and Lionel Messi’s magic in full flow.

From the first whistle, Argentina looked sharper, hungrier, and united. Their midfield, led by Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso, controlled the rhythm, while Messi glided across the pitch, orchestrating every move.

The breakthrough came in the 28th minute — Messi muscled past Di Lorenzo on the left flank and cut the ball across for Lautaro Martínez, who calmly slotted it home. 1–0 Argentina!
The Albiceleste were flying, and Italy, despite flashes of brilliance from Jorginho and Bernardeschi, couldn’t contain the pressure.

Just before halftime, Argentina struck again. Lautaro turned provider, threading a perfect pass to Ángel Di María, who chipped the ball beautifully over Donnarumma — vintage Di María, and 2–0 Argentina!

In the second half, Italy tried to respond, but Argentina’s defense — led by Otamendi and Romero — stood firm. In stoppage time, substitute Paulo Dybala sealed the victory with a precise low finish after a clever Messi run and assist.

When the whistle blew, it was complete dominance: Argentina 3–0 Italy.
Messi lifted another trophy, his smile lighting up Wembley. It wasn’t just a win — it was a statement. Argentina, united and unstoppable, looked ready for world glory.
