Developments on the international stage over the course of the last 24 hours set the stage for what will no doubt be a memorable occasion for those of a Barcelona persuasion.
This, of course, comes after the champions of both European and South American football were confirmed.
In the case of the former, Spain bested England in the finale of Euro 2024, owing to goals on the part of Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal.
Turning attentions towards the Copa América, meanwhile, a solitary extra-time strike on the part of Lautaro Martínez proved enough to guide Argentina beyond a stout Colombia side.
The participants in the latest edition of the Finalissima – which pits the champions of Europe and South America against one another – in turn, were confirmed.
The matchup does not yet have a confirmed date, but will play out at some point in 2025.
And it will afford those of a Barcelona persuasion with what is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That in question? A direct meeting between the club’s past and future, in Blaugrana icon Lionel Messi (Argentina) and Lamine Yamal (Spain).
