‘The final won’t be spectacular, and Messi isn’t the same’ – Lovchev rated Italy and Argentina’s chances

Match between national teams Italy and Argentina for the new trophy, the Finalissima will not be spectacular, the former USSR national team footballer told Yevgeny Lovchev .

Italy (winners of Euro 2020) will face Argentina (winners of the Copa América 2021) at Wembley on June 1 in the first-ever Finalissimo.

– I don’t see a favorite in this game or an advantage for anyone. Argentina won the Copa America, but they are still in the shadow of Brazil. Yes, and Messi is not the same. He doesn’t play the strength he used to play and when he was admired. The Argentina national team has a lot of “replayed” players. But the same story is in the Italian team, which shot at the European Championships. We need a generational change, and you don’t see any exceptional young players there now.

I don’t think this match will be spectacular, given that Italy are playing. I think there will be a confrontation between Argentina’s attack and Italy’s defence. The game, overall, will be up to the mark, Lovchev told .

The finalissima is a joint tournament between UEFA and CONMEBOL, in which the best teams from Europe and South America will compete for the trophy in one game.
