Argentina were facing Italy in the 2022 edition of Finalissima at Wembley. An year ago Italy lifted the Euro trophy in this very same venue. However, since then a lot many things changed.  Italy failed to qualify for FIFA World Cup once again, whereas the Argentinians were on a roll. As a result everyone expected Argentina to win.

And that is what happened in the game. Lionel Messi led from the front and the South American champions thrashed the European Champions 3-0. Though Messi did not score, but he provided a couple of assists to his team mates. It was a one-sided game and it never appeared that Italy had any chance of making a comeback.  

For his remarkable performance, Messi was awarded the man of the match award and the Argentineans lifted the Finalissima trophy for the second time.
