Messi's great cross for Lautaro to put Argentina ahead in Finalissima

Italy and Argentina met on Wednesday 1st June at the legendary Wembley Stadium in the first edition of the Finalissima, which brought together the reigning European champions, the Italians, and the American champions, the Argentinians.

When the match reached the half-hour mark, the Lionel Messi of a lifetime appeared. The one who has given just a few touches at PSG and who marked an era at Barcelona.

Italy lost the ball in their own half and the No10 took the opportunity to face and challenge Di Lorenzo. He held off the full-back, reached the back line, slowed down and created his own space to make the perfect cross.

A gift that was not wasted by Lautaro Martinez, who scored at will and beat Donnarumma for the first time this Wednesday. The 'Albiceleste' struck first.
