In 1993, the Argentine national team, as the champions of "Copa America", defeated the European champions - the Danish national team in an official match. Today, the Argentinians did it again - defeating the Italian national team in the "Finalissima" match. Argentina secured the trophy with a 3-0 victory against Italy. The European champions started the first half slightly better and more actively, but the Argentinians scored goals in the second half. In the 28th minute, after a superb pass from Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez, who plays in Italy, scored. During extra time, L. Martinez made an excellent run, delivered a precise pass, and then Angel Di Maria scored by technically lifting the ball over the goalkeeper. In the second half, Argentina created opportunities at a good pace again. The Italian national team's football was quite passive, and the "Copa America" champions achieved a deserved victory in this intercontinental match. The final blow to Italy's goal came in the last minute of the match from substitute Paulo Dybala. For the Argentine national team and Lionel Messi, who suffered a trophy drought with the team, this is the second prestigious trophy in a year. The next goal for the Argentine national team is the World Cup, which will take place this fall. Italy will not appear in this championship for the 2nd time in a row.
