SKAiF NewsNG SNN
Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has revealed his expectations when his side faces Spain in the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday.
Messi led Argentina as they defeated England 2-0 in the semi-final on Wednesday to book a place in the final of the competition.
Speaking at his post-match interview after the game, the Inter Miami forward said he expects a very closely encounter between Argentina and Spain in the World Cup final this weekend.
“They [Spain] are a tremendous team, with outstanding players. They play excellent football,” Messi said.
“I know the Spanish side well, and they have a style of play they have developed over many years.
“Several of the squad play for Barca, a club that means a great deal to me and that I still keep up with. It will be a special World Cup final, and obviously, I expect it to be very closely matched.”
