Argentina and Colombia are both in very high form before entering the Copa America 2024 final. The captains of the two teams are their inspiration. For Argentina it's Lionel Messi. He leads the entire league in chances created (7) and has the second most key passes (15), being a source of creativity for the Albiceleste.
In addition, this will be the last Copa America for veterans like Angel Di Maria and Nicolas Otamendi, and may also be the last for Messi. Therefore, the team will hope for a perfect ending to say goodbye to these stars.
On the other side, James Rodriguez led Colombia to its first final in 23 years. He broke Messi's record as the player with the most assists in the tournament (6). The former Real Madrid star also leads the tournament in the number of decisive passes (17) and is second in the number of big opportunities created (5).
The Colombian team reached the final after a 28-match unbeaten streak and they also have a dangerous star. It will not be easy for Argentina to defend the throne against this opponent.
The match between Argentina vs Colombia takes place at 7:00 a.m. on July 15 (Vietnam time), live on K+, VTC.
