All eyes are on the 2026 World Cup final, where Argentina will face Spain in a match that recalls their last encounter in the tournament, which dates back to the 1966 edition in England.
The two teams met at that time in the group stage at Villa Park, where the Argentine national team secured a 2-1 victory thanks to two goals from striker Luis Artime, while Joaquín Peiró netted Spain's only goal.
Argentina deviated from their usual defensive style in this match, showcasing a strong attacking performance from the outset, which gave them the edge over the Spanish national team. However, they continued their journey to the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated from the tournament after a 1-0 defeat to England, who later claimed the title.
After nearly six decades since their only encounter in World Cup history, the two teams are set to compete once again, but this time for the global title, in a highly anticipated final featuring two of the most prominent national teams in world football.
