Lionel Messi now has two international trophies under his name for Argentina as the 36-year-old superstar put up a stellar show on the night to lead the team to victory starting with an assist made in the 28th minute which was turned into a goal by Lautaro Martinez.

Messi was unstoppable in the whole game as he forced the Italian goalkeeper to show some efforts to deny him from getting his name on the list. Messi should have his name on the scorecard after his outstanding display of play which made the world believe that he might show miracles during the Qatar World Cup in November this year.

Giorgio Chiellini bids adieu to his international career as he played his last game against Argentina in the Finalissima but had a one to forget as his side was outclassed by the Copa America champions.

Chiellini ends his career in the saddest possible way after his team failed to qualify for the World Cup and also failed to lift the Finalissima trophy at Wembley. He was substituted after the first half and he spectated the second half before receiving the runners-up medal in his last international game.
