Spain and Argentina will meet in the Finalissima after both nations won their respective continental competitions in the summer. La Roja triumphed at the European Championship while Argentina won a 16th Copa America trophy. As a result, the stage is set for Yamal and Messi to meet in the showpiece event.
Barcelona have a vested interest in the Finalissima due to the presence of arguably the club's greatest player - and a rising star forging his own legacy in Catalonia. According to Bolavip, the Blaugrana want to host the match at their renovated Camp Nou, and it would certainly be fitting for Messi to return to his former home after his tearful exit three years ago. March 2026 has been suggested as a possible date for the match and Barcelona expect the upgraded stadium to be ready by then, with an increased seating capacity of 105,000.
The lasting image of Messi at Barcelona is of the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner in tears, forced out due to the club's financial struggles. That doesn't sit well with the Blaugrana or Messi, and hosting the Finalissima would offer all parties a chance to give the icon a proper farewell.
Barcelona have a new hero in Yamal and the 17-year-old, who was named Young Player of the Tournament at the Euros, is spearheading Hansi Flick's side as they look to challenge Real Madrid this season. The club's recent improvement in their financial position leaves them better poised to compete after finishing 10 points behind their rivals last season.
