Top picks:
Lionel Messi: The Argentine did not have a great season with PSG, but has done well with the national team. He will be looking to get back in form and help his side lift another trophy tonight.
Lautaro Martínez: The striker did well with Inter and will be leading the attack for Argentina. He will be a tough player to handle for the Italian defense.
Lorenzo Insigne: The best pick from Italy as he was one of their best players in the EURO 2020 winning run. He is moving to MLS this summer and this could be his last big appearance for Italy.
