When will Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi cross paths on the field? The approximate date of La Finalissima Spain is possibly the most intriguing team in international football right now, so it’s fascinating to think that they’ll be facing not just the Copa America winners but also the defending world champions, Argentina. That will happen in 2025 thanks to La Finalissima. Although it was first anticipated to happen in June, FIFA’s World Club Cup is slated to happen soon after the conclusion of the European club season, which puts a stop to that. Sport reported that Gaston Edul stated that La Finalissima would now occur in March 2025.

After Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 in 2023, the competition was resurrected. It will feature a storyline including Lionel Messi taking over his likely successor at Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, as well as Messi’s first-ever competitive match against his longtime home nation. Although the match is expected to take place in South America this time around, the exact location is still unknown. The USA and Wembley, the event’s original host, are still possible locations for the match, though.
