Argentina wanted her more and Argentina had her. The tide of fans that dyed Wembley albiceleste left happy with their team, champions of the new Finalissima, thanks to a few magical minutes by Lautaro Martínez, crowned with a goal and an assist against a saddened Italy (0-3).
Argentina was much more concentrated, committing itself to show that it can win and compete against European teams. He went over it, in fact.

He only unraveled the match, Lautaro gave the stitch. This time the Inter Milan player dressed as a periscope, put a filtered ball to Di María when the referee was already looking at the break. The ball passed between the two center-backs and Di María stung it over Donnaruma, who is still without a team, but who will not be short of girlfriends this summer.
The former PSG player sought the double and brushed it with two attempts defused by his former partner. Donnaruma, crowned European champion in this field, was the one who avoided an Italian humiliation. He stopped everything that could stop Messi and Di María and his gloves kept Italy not in the game, but in the competition. The 0-2 had kept them away from a title made for the albiceleste, due to the tribute to Diego Armando Maradona prior to the match and due to the desire that the fans gave him to travel en masse to Wembley.
