It all comes down to this.
Lionel Messi and Argentina are looking to become the first back-to-back World Cup champions since Brazil did it in 1958 and 1962, or Spain is looking to win their second ever World Cup.
These two teams have taken very different paths to the final, but it sets up a historic clash at MetLife Stadium.
Spain has been dominant throughout the knockout stage, conceding only one goal, and has yet to play from behind in this tournament.
Argentina, on the other hand, has needed to come from behind time and again to reach the final. They needed extra time against both Cape Verde and Switzerland, needed to score 3 goals in the final 20 minutes against Egypt, and then needed two late goals against England.
This is by far the best team Argentina has faced since the 2022 World Cup final against France and a completely different opponent as well.
Spain will control the majority of possession and force Argentina to defend for most of the match.
Will Spain’s control and Lamine Yamal lift them to their second World Cup final, or will the GOAT deliver one final magical World Cup performance to go out on a high note?
Let’s dive in!
