The match was played between the champions of Europe and the Champions of south America at Wembley Stadium in England.
The opener was created by Lionel Messi’s brilliant pass to Lautaro Martinez who slotted the ball past the Italian goal keeper in the twenty-eight minutes.
Just before the referee blew for half time, Martinez turned creator in first half stoppage time by passing to Angel Di Maria who then got pass Giorgio Chiellini and then chipped Donnarumma to make it two to nill.
The International match against Argentina was the last by Giorgio Chiellini, the captain of Italy who would be retiring from international football.
The victory was concluded in the fourth minutes of stoppage time when the Argentine’s captain provided another assists for Dybala who was substituted to replace Martinez.
Although Donnarumma was key in saving lots of shots from Messi and Angel Di Maria, Messi still won the man of the match and has now won his second major trophy with Argentina.
Fans of Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo are speculating as the two footballers have now won the same amount of trophies for their respective countries, they are also the players with the highest caps and goals for their respective countries.
Argentina would now be looking to add the world cup to their trophy cabinets after trashing Italy to win the Finalissima.
