The Finalissima will take place on Wednesday at London's historic Wembley Stadium, between European champions Italy and Copa America conquerors Argentina.
The CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions is in its third year. The first edition of the showcase was won by France in 1985, while the previous edition was won by Argentina in 1993.
This is going to be an exciting matchup between two of the best international teams in the globe. But who will emerge victorious? Let's look at both sides more closely.
Italy qualified for the Finalissima in 2022 by winning Euro 2020 last summer, giving them a second European Championship title.
The Italians won three games with three clean sheets in the group stage before going on to defeat Austria, Belgium, and Spain in the knockout stage.
Surprisingly, they defeated England in the final at Wembley Stadium.
Roberto Mancini's side has had a diverse selection of performances since the European Championship, with three victories, four draws, and two losses across all competitions.
Italy's previous match was in March, when they beat Turkey 3-2 in a friendly due to a brace from Sassuolo attacker Giacomo Raspadori.
Argentina, on the other hand, secured their ticket to the Finalissima in 2022 by winning the Copa America last season - their fifteenth Copa America championship overall.
The Argentines won three of their four group games before eliminating Ecuador and Colombia on their way to the final, where they defeated Brazil.
Argentina is now undefeated in 31 games across all tournaments.
Since the start of the season, the team has won eight games and drawn three.
