## Resource

It all comes down to THIS. Spain vs Argentina in the World Cup 2026 final — Lamine Yamal vs Lionel Messi, the tournament's best defence against the champions who refuse to lose. My full in-depth preview and prediction below. Who wins it all? Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the 2026 World Cup has its dream final. Argentina, the defending champions, are chasing what no nation has done since Brazil in 1962, back-to-back World Cups, dragged out of scare after scare by a 39-year-old Lionel Messi and his late, decisive magic in what could be his final World Cup match. Spain arrive unbeaten, having conceded less than anyone left, chasing a stunning World-and-European champions double, with 19-year-old Lamine Yamal ready to turn the final into his coronation. It's legend vs heir: Argentina's late-game ruthlessness against Spain's suffocating possession, and Messi's La Masia past against the very nation where he became a legend. I break down both roads to the final, the key tactical battles, the Messi vs Yamal duel, and give you my score prediction and my World Cup champion. 00:00 - Welcome 00:24 - France vs England 02:30 - Spain vs Argentina Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnY8DbRISx8 FOLLOW RABONA TV FOR SHORT-FORM CONTENT DURING THE WORLD CUP https://www.instagram.com/Rabona.TV https://www.tiktok.com/@rabonatv Check out The 90th Minute’s Daily show, Match Day: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute Hosted on Acast.
