Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal Finalissima 2025 match could be postponed - Reports

Ever since Lamine Yamal's stunning performance at the UEFA Euro 2024, his resemblance to Lionel Messi's playing style has been the talk of the world. Lamine Yamal himself mentioned that he idolised the Barcelona legend and wanted his Spain to win the UEFA Euro 2024 and Argentina national football team to win the Copa America 2024 so that he would get a chance to play against Lionel Messi. Well, his wish was granted as the Argentina national football team won the Copa America 2024 title, and Spain also won the UEFA Euro 2024 championships, setting up an exciting encounter for the Finalissima 2025.

Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal Finalissima 2025 match could be postponed - Reports

The Argentina national football team won the Copa America 2024 title, and Spain clinched the Euro 2024 championships, setting up an exciting encounter for the Finalissima 2025. According to reports, FIFA's tight schedule is delaying the announcement of the Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal Finalissima 2025 match date. The match was expected to be scheduled for June and July 2025. Unfortunately, the dates are on hold. The finals of the UEFA Champions League, the Europa League, the Intercontinental Cup, and the Club World Cup would also pose obstacles that prevent it from being held on the scheduled date. With the Paris Olympics 2024, the FIFA World Cup in 2026, and ongoing qualification matches, FIFA is facing trouble finalising dates for the Argentina vs Spain Finalissima 2025 match.

1. Lionel Messi-led Argentina win Copa America 2024

Lionel Messi's tears turned into joy as he overcame an ankle injury to celebrate Argentina's 1-0 win over Colombia in the Copa America 2024 final. Lionel Messi-led Argentina won a record 16th Copa America title in Miami, surpassing Uruguay. The pictures of Messi in tears with his swollen ankle went viral as his teammates were stranded in the middle in their quest to complete the double of the FIFA World Cup and the Copa America title. The sight of Lionel Messi leaving the ground gave Colombia a glimmer of hope, but Lautaro Martinez scored the crucial goal in the 112th minute to give Argentina their second successive Copa America and Messi's 45th title, making him the greatest of all time in the history of football. Immediate fears arose regarding his fitness for the return to domestic action at MLS side Inter Miami. However, there is no update on how long the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner will be sidelined, but the legendary 37-year-old has suggested that he will not be out for long.

2. Late Oyarzabal winner helps Spain beat England in UEFA Euro 2024 final

Spain substitute Mikel Oyarzabal slid in for an 86th-minute winner to earn his team a 2-1 Euro 2024 final victory over England and a record fourth European Championship title. Oyarzabal finished off a break for the winning goal as the Spain national football team were crowned Euro 2024 champions, having won all seven games they played in the tournament. After a highly cautious first half where Spanish football players had more possession, and their opponents got only one shot on target, it took two minutes after the restart for the Spaniards to break the pressure. Young prodigy Lamine Yamal found space down the right and delivered an assist for Nico Williams to score before England, who levelled in the 73rd through substitute Cole Palmer.

Oyarzabal, however, denied them their first major international trophy in 58 years. La Roja was in excellent form in Germany, winning all seven games while scoring 15 goals and conceding only four. Winger Lamine Yamal made history by becoming the youngest player ever to appear at a Euro against Croatia as Spain made light work of a tough group that also included holders Italy. Yamal laid on an assist as Spain showed their mettle to overcome hosts Germany in extra time in the quarter-finals, and an even more prodigious goalscoring feat ensued in the semi-final with his match-turning equaliser. In Berlin, Spain overcame England to become the first side to win four Euro titles.

3. What is the Finalissima? When Messi and Yamal could face off for the first time?

The Finalissima is a one-off football match in which the winners of the Copa America and Euro tournaments face off for another trophy. The 2025 Finalissima will be contested between Argentina and Spain. The schedule is not out yet, though, according to reports, it could be held in June or July after the regular season concludes. Football's greatest of all time could very soon meet its promising future. Spain won the Euro 2024 tournament after beating England in the final 2-1. Lamine Yamal, who turned 17 the day before the final, won the Best Young Player of the Tournament award after scoring 1 goal and 4 assists in 7 games, emerging as the breakout star of Euro 2024.

The rising FC Barcelona star is being considered as the sport's next big star. With Spain's win, Yamal is on the way to play another Barcelona legend who further cemented himself as the GOAT. Lionel Messi and the Argentina national football team beat Colombia 1-0 in extra time to win the Copa America, making it three straight major tournament trophies in a row. Lionel Messi, who just recently made the Football news for an old photo with Yamal when he was just a few months old, could be passing the torch when the two countries play.
