Football will experience a Sunday of definitions. Two continental finals will be played on July 14: at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Spain will face England for Euro 2024, while at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Argentina and Colombia will meet for the Copa America 2024.
It is important to note that the winners of both continental tournaments would face each other in the Finalissima. If Spain is crowned champion of Euro 2024 and Argentina wins the final against Colombia in the Copa America 2024, both teams would face each other.
If this match takes place, it would be the first time that the young figure Lamine Yamal faces Lionel Messi. Since his debut at Barcelona in mid-2023, the young Spanish has not had the opportunity to play against Inter Miami, the Argentine star’s team.
Lamine Yamal vs Lionel Messi in the Finalissima 2025
Lamine Yamal, one of the stars of the Spanish national team, spoke about the final against England and the possibility of facing Lionel Messi in the Finalissima: “I hope that Messi wins the Copa America and I win the European Championship so that I can play against him in the Finalissima.”
