- Stars Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal clash in the biggest match of the biggest World Cup in history.
As the sun shines on the New York skyline, football’s biggest stage gets ready for its perfect closing act: the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain.
It is a gift for the football purists, a clash of philosophies, if you will—Argentina, the reigning champions who have made a habit of embracing the suffering, and Spain, the European winners who have taught the world a masterclass in control.
On one hand is the unstoppable, almost unnatural force of Lionel Messi – whose movements on the field are no less than spells from a magic wand – and on the other is Lamine Yamal, the teen prodigy whose flair on the field and flamboyant personality off it show signs of a superstar in the making.
So when the confetti falls, and the fireworks erupt, will it be Argentina lifting a historic second straight world title, or will the golden generation of Spain bring back joy after 16 years of waiting?
Who wins in tonight’s game? The livestream kicks off at exactly 19:00 GMT via the link below.
