With the goals of Lautaro Martinez, Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala, Argentina beat Italy 3 – 0 at Wembley and lift the Finalissima trophy. The first goal was created by Lionel Messi’s solo brilliance taking him past Italian defenders and making a perfect spot for Martinez to slot past the goalkeeper in 28′ with Argentina taking the lead.
This was the 117th and final match of legend player Giorgio Chiellini as he bids goodbye to international football. This was the third time that the soccer confederations faced one another in an official competition.
Martinez turned creator in first-half stoppage time by threading a pass-through for Di Maria to chip Donnarumma, having got passed Chiellini. Messi was again to the rescue as an assist, for Dybala to strike low into the net.
With this Messi has now two feathers to his cap, the Copa America and the victory against England will surely be boosters for the team before entering the Qatar World Cup.
