Messi Vs Yamal - Date announced for Argentina and Spain Finalissima clash

Barcelona's young star, Lamine Yamal and icon Lionel Messi will face each other as the Finalissima clash between Argentina and Spain gets a kick-off date in 2026.

According to Managing Barcelona, the anticipated Finalissima is officially scheduled to take place between March 26 and 31, 2026. This grand event will pit the winners of UEFA Euro 2024, Spain, against the 2024 Copa América champions, Argentina, as revealed by Goals Side on X.

Organised jointly by CONMEBOL and UEFA, this match continues the rich tradition of the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions, following the successful 2022 edition held at Wembley Stadium.

Barcelona’s rising star has been officially confirmed as the wearer of the legendary No. 10 shirt, previously donned by club icon Lionel Messi.

The 18-year-old winger celebrated his birthday in style by signing a long-term contract extension that ties him to Barcelona until 2031, in a ceremony attended by President Joan Laporta, sporting director Deco, and his grandmother, Fátima.

During the event, the club unveiled its new No. 10 shirt, which rapidly became the fastest-selling jersey in club history, moving around 70,000 units in just one day, with projected revenue nearing €10 million.
