Spain vs Argentina will decide the World Cup at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, pitting Lionel Messi against Lamine Yamal in a final that has already turned into a global history argument online over what this match is supposed to represent.
Argentina reached the showpiece after a late comeback against England in the semi-final, extending Messi's run of World Cup finals to back-to-back tournaments following his triumph in Qatar in 2022. Spain, the reigning European champion, booked its own place to set up a meeting between the 37-year-old Argentinian icon and Spain's teenage prodigy Yamal.
