Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni confirmed that the Spanish national team possesses technical and tactical capabilities that cause concern ahead of the match between the two sides, on Sunday, in the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Speaking in the official pre-match press conference today, Scaloni said: "Spain is a great team and delivers outstanding performances under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente, and everything about them worries me." He noted that both teams are similar in their reliance on possession and building play with the ball, expressing his hope that they will deliver a match worthy of the final. Scaloni praised Argentina captain Lionel Messi, emphasizing that reaching the final at the age of 39 is an exceptional achievement. Messi shares the tournament's top scorer spot with eight goals alongside France striker Kylian Mbappé. The Argentine coach indicated that his team is preparing for the match in the same way as any other game, focusing on technical aspects and keeping players away from pressure. He dismissed the idea that Argentina's experience in the 2022 World Cup final gives them an advantage over Spain, noting that players from both teams are accustomed to big matches. Scaloni also touched on the fact that Argentina's recent successes have made their style of play known to opponents, stressing that reaching the final again adds greater value to what they have achieved.
