YAMAL’S SPAIN TO MEET MESSI’S ARGENTINA IN 2025

Respectively winners of the Euro and the Copa America on Sunday, Spain and Argentina will meet again in 2025 to play the Finalissima. The opportunity for a first duel between Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi.

A Lamine Yamal-Lionel Messi duel will indeed take place. Winner of the Euro on Sunday evening after its victory against England (2-1) , Spain will face Argentina – crowned at the Copa America against Colombia (1-0) – for the second edition of the Finalissima, a competition jointly organized by UEFA and Conmebol which pits the winners of the two continental competitions against each other.

This match will be played in 2025, with a date and venue yet to be determined. This will be the second edition of the Finalissima since the competition was revived. In 2022, the Albiceleste was already in the game and had largely dominated Italy at Wembley (3-0) .

Lamal dubs Messi

At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal should therefore face his idol for the first time. A few days ago, a photo of the Spaniard as a baby with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner went viral on social networks between two players who share many things in common, such as being trained at La Masia, being left-handed and having started on the right side.

Proud of his son’s performances, Mounir Nasraoui believes that his son is “the best” and that this encounter with the Pulga in his early years changed everything. “Maybe it was Lamine who blessed Leo,” joked Lamine Yamal’s father this week to the Spanish press. “The best in everything, not only in football but also in love, as a person, in everything. This child is a blessing from God, he is very important and we must highlight him.” After his XXL performances during the Euro, the world began to get a glimpse of his talent.
