Barcelona prodigy dreaming of facing Lionel Messi in Finalissima 2025
Barcelona and Spain forward Lamine Yamal has said that he wants Lionel Messi to win the Copa America and Spain to lift the Euro 2024 title so that the two players can play each other in the Finalissima.
Yamal, who is celebrating his 17th birthday today, has been one of the breakout stars at the European Championship. Following his phenomenal strike against France, the young forward has taken his tally to one goal and three assists in six matches.
Riding on the back of his scintillating performances, Spain have gone on to qualify for the final where they will face off against England.
Meanwhile, Argentina are set to face Colombia in the Copa America final and if Messi’s team win, Argentina and Spain will qualify for the 2025 Finalissima, which happens to be the dream of Yamal.
“I hope Messi wins the Copa America and I win EURO 2024 so I can play against him in the Finalissima,” said the Barcelona youngster
