Argentine national team forward Lionel Messi responded to a question about the Finalissima. He does not intend to participate in this match.
The Finalissima is set to take place in 2026. This is a one-match tournament where the current European champion faces the current Copa America holder. In 2026, the national teams of Spain and Argentina are supposed to compete against each other.
"No, to be honest, no. It’s not even confirmed whether it will take place. They don’t even know if it will happen. But, honestly, having a preseason in the middle of the season will change everything for me," Messi said, as reported by Goal citing ESPN.
Let us remind you that last time the Argentine national team won the Finalissima, defeating the Italian national team by a narrow margin.
