Here is your guide to find out the date, start time, TV channel, and live streaming platforms to watch this thrilling encounter.
La Albiceleste, led by the talismanic Messi, is seeking to retain their continental crown, but their path to the final has not been without its challenges. After topping Group A with wins over Canada (2-0), Chile (1-0) and Peru (2-0), Lionel Scaloni’s team faced a scare in the quarterfinals against Ecuador, requiring a penalty shootout victory (4-2) after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Messi’s fitness will be a key factor in Argentina’s quest for victory. He was at his best in the opening match against Canada, showcasing his trademark skills and vision. However, a right adductor injury in the first half against Chile hampered his performance, and he was rested against Peru as a precaution. His influence against Ecuador was limited compared to his performance against Canada.
Canada’s fairytale Copa America journey continues, having defied expectations to reach the semifinals. After securing third place in Group A, they eliminated Venezuela in the quarterfinals via a penalty shootout (4-3) following a 1-1 draw. Despite lacking individual star power, the Canucks has impressed with their fighting spirit, physical prowess, and defensive organization. Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau emerged as a hero in the penalty shootout against La Vinotinto, while Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, a target for Real Madrid, is their most recognizable player.
