Finalissima 2022: Top 5 Key Players to watch out for
#5 Julián Álvarez
Argentina’s next great striker hope, Álvarez made his international debut in June 2021. The 22-year-old was top scorer in Argentina’s Primera División with River Plate in 2021, when he was also voted South American Footballer of the Year. He joined Manchester City in January but immediately returned on loan to River Plate.
#4 Nicolò Zaniolo
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder seemed destined for greatness after breaking into the Azzurri set-up at 19 and scoring his first international goals in their final UEFA EURO 2020 qualifier – a 9-1 win against Armenia. Two cruciate knee injuries have hampered his progress, but he seems back in the groove at Roma this season.
#3 Lautaro Martinez
Still only 24-years-old, the Inter Milan striker has become one of the important attackers to lead the attack for Argentina alongside Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria. He was the third highest scorer in the Serie A 2021/22 although was his club’s highest goalscorer with 21 goals.
He will be looking to put himself on the scoresheet against a rigid Italy defence with the likes of Chiellini and Bonucci hoping to keep the Argentinian at bay.
#2 Jorginho
In the Italy camp, the Chelsea linchpin is nicknamed ‘Radio Jorginho’ because he is constantly talking during games and directing his team-mates. Others might deliver spectacular tricks or stunning goals, but Jorginho is the brains behind this Azzurri team. An indispensable conductor, he won the 2020/21 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award.
#1 Lionel Messi
The Paris striker and former Barcelona icon barely needs an introduction. Messi holds records for the most caps and goals for Argentina and finally clinched his first international trophy last summer. The 34-year-old has won four UEFA Champions League titles and has finished top scorer in six seasons of the competition.
