Messi won the title of man of the match, Argentina destroyed Italy to win the Finalissima trophy

Argentina extended his unbeaten run to 32 after the Finalissima final against Italy. The match between the Copa America 2021 champion and the Euro 2021 champion was quite one-sided. Without the excellent goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, it is likely that the number of goals that Italy must receive does not stop at 3.

In the first half, Italy dominated in the first few minutes of the match, but Argentina opened the scoring. In the 28th minute, after Messi overcame Di Lorenzo, Argentina’s No. 10 had a perfect cross for Lautaro Martinez to cushion the ball easily to score the first goal of the match.

Since this goal, the match is almost the game of the Copa America champion. When the first half of the match entered injury time, from a ball from Emiliano Martinez, it was Lautaro who had a slot for Di Maria to cross down to face Donnarumma. The “angel” of the South American team had just enough tire phase to pass the Italian goalkeeper, raising the match score to 2-0.

Entering the second half, Italy made 3 changes when Belotti, Chiellini and Bernardeschi left the field to make way for Scamacca, Lazzari and Locatelli. However, it was still Argentina that had the majority of possession. The counter-attack lines of the South American team are extremely sharp in this match. In the 60th minute, from a long ball, Di Maria made a push to push the ball into the center from the right wing, cutting the technical heart to force Donnarumma to show his talent.

The second half would probably have more goals if Argentina were more refined with their shots. Messi especially excelled in this half with another stretch to clear the ground for Lo Celso. After that, “El Pulga” also had a technical long shot but unfortunately luck has not yet come to the captain of Argentina.

Messi always plays very well when playing for the Argentina national team

But what must come will also come, Dybala, after coming on as a substitute in stoppage time, thought he would not be able to make any mark, but he still managed to leave Wembly a goal. From Messi’s effort and finish in the 90+4 minute, the ball bounced back to Dybala’s feet in a position to face Donnarumma and the Juventus player did not miss the opportunity to end this match for Italy.

Although Messi did not get himself a goal, but the contribution of the captain to Argentina’s play was too obvious and he won the award of the best player in Finalissima.
