Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has mocked Argentina’s celebrations following their triumph in the Finalissima clash against Italy at Wembley.
Last summer, Lionel Messi played an inspirational role as his nation won the Copa America title – their first trophy since 1993. That title ensured their participation in the 2022 Finalissima on Wednesday night against Italy, the European champions, at Wembley. Messi was named Man of the Match in a glittering performance as Argentina cantered to a two-goal victory.
Messi’s PSG teammate Neymar starred for Brazil at last summer’s Copa America, which was held in his native nation, but was eventually a losing finalist but the Selecao lost to their arch-rivals in the showpiece. It was a painful match for Neymar, just as it was for all of his international teammates, although they did win the tournament two summers prior.
