With so much at stake, this clash promises full-blooded duels, a blistering tempo and key moments that could reshape the entire group.
Built on the core of the 2022 champions, the Albiceleste still look to Lionel Messi as the creative spark and goal threat of a generation used to delivering when it matters most.

Technique versus physicality, control versus chaos: a contrast that sends expectations soaring.
