Argentina will play another friendly match after the Finalissima against Italy

The path of the Argentine team to the Qatar 2022 World Cup is taking shape. On the next day of FIFA, those led by Lionel Scaloni had only confirmed the match against Italy as part of the Finalissima. A cross that finds the winner of the Copa América and the European Championship, a match agreed upon after an agreement between Conmebol and UEFA.

After the one-on-one against the ‘Nazionale’ on June 1 at Wembley Stadium (London, England), there was room on the calendar to face one more contest. However, one by one the potential adversaries fell out due to various reasons. Then, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) made a new attempt to get a friendly.

Thus, the entity led by Claudio Tapia announced that Lionel Messi and company will see action against the Estonian representative. The game is scheduled for Sunday, June 5, without a confirmed time, in Spain. To be more precise, the Real Sociedad stadium, in San Sebastián, will be the stage.

Initially, Scaloni expressed the desire to face a European national team, but the development of the Nations League reduced the possibilities. For this, the possibility of measuring Israel was ruled out. The same happened with Brazil and South Korea, for logistical reasons. It could have been Morocco, but Estonia will be chosen.

The agenda of the Albiceleste

Argentina will train again on Friday, in Lezama, and on Saturday it will hold the only session open to fans at San Mamés, Athletic’s stadium, although payment at a price will be 12 euros for fans in general and 10 for the partners of the rojiblanca entity.

Franco Armani, Julián Álvarez and Marcos Senesi, who plan to arrive after their commitments with their clubs, are already expected to attend Friday’s session, the fourth for the Argentine team at this concentration in Bilbao.

The goalkeeper and the striker, who scored six goals, played in River Plate’s victory against Alianza Lima (8-1) in the Copa Libertadores, while the defender started on Wednesday with Feyenoord in the Dutch team’s defeat against Roma in the Conference League final.
