What to look out for in the final?
This will mark just the second FIFA World Cup encounter between Spain and Argentina. Their only previous meeting came during the 1966 group stage, where Argentina defeated Spain 2-1 thanks to Luis Artime’s brace. Argentina’s run lasted till the quarter finals, while Spain didn’t make it past the group stages.
All eyes will be on Catalonia’s past and future as Argentina’s talisman Lionel Messi and Spain’s young prodigy Lamine Yamal are set to meet on the grandest stage of them all, when life comes full circle after 19 years, winding back to a photo shoot for FC Barcelona and UNICEF in 2007 where Messi helped the 5-month-old baby Yamal with a bath in a little blue plastic tub.
