🇦🇷⚽️🇪🇸 Argentina Vs. Spain: Five Coincidences That Will Give You Goosebumps The Argentina–Spain World Cup Final will be historic for many reasons. One of them is the sheer number of coincidences that envelop this match in an almost magical glow. Here are five coincidences that make this World Cup Final feel special. 1️⃣ The final is at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. That's the exact same stadium where Messi lost the Copa América final to Chile back in 2016. He was so crushed that night that he announced he was retiring from the Argentina National Team. Ten years later, he's back at the same stadium playing his third World Cup final. 2️⃣ This is the first time ever that the reigning Copa América champion plays the reigning European champion in a World Cup final. 3️⃣ Lionel Messi, Argentina's main figure, will face Lamine Yamal, Spain's main figure. It turns out that nineteen years ago, Lionel Messi took a picture with baby Lamine Yamal as part of a charity calendar photoshoot for UNICEF and the newspaper Diario Sport at Camp Nou. 4️⃣ Back when Messi had his picture taken with Lamine Yamal, Messi wore the number nineteen jersey for F.C. Barcelona. That's the exact number Yamal wears for Spain right now. And again, that happened nineteen years ago. And just as Messi went from the number nineteen jersey to the number ten jersey for Barcelona, so did Lamine Yamal. 5️⃣ Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, was a coaching instructor to Lionel Scaloni, Argentina's head coach, back in 2017. So on Sunday, the student faces his mentor. And on top of all that, they're close friends.
