The Copa America will have its “dream” Brazil-Argentina final. After Brazil’s qualification on the night of Monday to Tuesday against Peru, Argentina also climbed to the Copa America final after a match at the end of the suspense against Colombia (1-1, 3 tab to 2) Tuesday July 6, thanks to a heroic Emiliano Martinez on penalties and a decisive passer Messi.
But the grand final of the Copa America, which will take place on Saturday July 10 at the legendary Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, will above all be a star-studded duel between Messi and Neymar, former teammates at FC Barcelona, who have never won a major title. with their national selection.
For the six-fold Argentinian golden ball, it will be an opportunity to break the curse after four lost finals (World Cup 2014, Copa America 2007, 2015 and 2016) and to put an end to an endless famine of his country, which does not win no trophy since the 1993 Copa America.
Neymar is also chasing a major title with the Seleçao, who will try to win her 10th title in the history of the competition, at home. During the last edition, the Brazilian, injured in the ankle, did not take part in the ninth title of his country. “I want (to face) Argentina, I am for them because I have friends in this team, but it is Brazil who will win the final”, said the PSG striker, after the victory against Peru. His wish was granted. It remains to be seen if the dream continues on Saturday for “Ney”.
