Copa America champions Albiceleste and European champions the Azzurri, take on each other this Wednesday in hopes of landing the Finalissima, the unification of titles between the confederations of UEFA and conmebol.
It has been more than two decades since such a ‘Super Cup’ has been played and for the same reason interest is just worldwide for this upcoming encounter.
It also has several storylines attached to it. This is for the second time in a row the Italians are missing out on the World Cup, and this time around it really hurt.
They had become champions of Europe in June in grand style by defeating England in England. But all of that amounted to nothing as they failed to secure a ticket to Qatar, in order to fight it out for the World Cup.
