Lautaro Martínez, Angel Di María and and Paulo Dybala scored the goals as South American champions Argentina produced a masterful performance in the inaugural Finalissima at Wembley.

Argentina are unbeaten in 32 international matches (W21 D11); their last defeat was in July 2019 against Brazil in the semi-finals of the Copa América.

Argentina forward Lionel Messi has been named Player of the Match following his side’s 3-0 win against Italy in the 2022 Finalissima at Wembley.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi said ,”Today was a nice test because Italy are a great team. We knew it was going to be a nice game and a nice setting in which to be champions. It was a beautiful final, full of Argentinians. What we experienced here was beautiful.”
