The Argentina national team is seeking revenge in the Finalissima against Spain, after the pending match between the two teams was canceled in March due to the conflict in the Middle East. The Finalissima is the trophy pending between the champions of America and Europe, and will be played in November, according to speculation.
The Albiceleste team qualified for the Finalissima as champions of America in 2024 for the second consecutive time and 16th overall, by defeating Colombia 1-0 in the final with a goal from Lautaro Martínez. They crowned themselves undefeated with five victories and one draw, with a subsequent victory in the penalty shootout. They scored nine goals and conceded only one. Their top scorer was Martínez with five goals.
Spain, on the other hand, achieved the same in the European Championship, in what was their fourth consecutive title. They won the title in Germany after a 2-1 victory over England, which finished as runner-up for the second consecutive edition, in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The goals of the winner were converted by Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal, while Cole Palmer equalized temporarily for the Three Lions.
The Finalissima is the successor to the extinct Artemio Franchi Cup. The first edition under the new name was played on June 1, 2022, in the prelude to the Qatar World Cup. The team led by Lionel Scaloni took advantage of the opportunity to be crowned champions after winning 3-0 with goals from Lautaro Martínez, Ángel Di María, and Paulo Dybala.
The Argentina national team is currently at the top of the 2026 World Cup, with 9 points and 3 victories without defeats. Their last result was a 1-0 defeat against Spain on July 19. In their last series of matches, they have won 4 and lost 1.
