Messi, Yamal Lead Combined XI for 2026 World Cup Final

The final squad is set in a 4‑3‑3, with Lionel Messi and 20‑year‑old Lamine Yamal anchoring the attack. Unai Simón and Emiliano Martínez are selected as goalkeepers for their defensive records and big‑game pedigree. Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero secure the right side, while Aymeric Laporte partners Marc Cucurella at left, providing experience and ball‑playing ability.

Defensive depth is highlighted by choosing seasoned centre‑backs over less experienced options, and the lineup reflects both Spain’s defensive solidity and Argentina’s clutch performances. The combined XI showcases the elite talent of both teams and promises a high‑quality showdown in New York‑New Jersey Stadium. albergomalica.it
