| This is a repeat of last year’s final when La Roja defeated Argentina in a penalty shootout and lifted the championship trophy for the first time in their history. A lot has changed since that encounter and it will be interesting to see how both teams approach this game. | This is a repeat of last year’s final when La Roja defeated Argentina in a penalty shootout and lifted the championship trophy for the first time in their history.

| The biggest talking point leading up to tonight has been Lionel Messi and his availability, if at all. La Pulga suffered a back injury during a warm-up game against Honduras, and whilst it’s clear he won’t start, the question remains whether we’ll see him on the pitch. My gut tells me it’s way too early and I’m sure Barcelona have done everything they can to make sure he’s not rushed into action but this is a big game for La Albiceleste as they look to restore some pride as they haven’t won a national team title since 1993. Basically, this team has come to play and Tata Martino is spoiled with talent. His attacking options go so far down the bench (Aguero, Higuain, Lavezzi, Di Maria, Banega, Gaitán) that I almost feel sorry for him having to decide who to pick and who he’ll let down. But who am I kidding? If that’s a problem then please keep them coming. | The biggest talking point leading up to tonight has been Lionel Messi and his availability, if at all.

| Despite all those options I still wish Paulo Dybala was here, by far my favorite new young Argentine to watch this season. | Despite all those options I still wish Paulo Dybala was here, by far my favorite new young Argentine to watch this season. |
| Chile, meanwhile, have been going through a major transition as they look for a new beginning since the departure of their legendary manager Jorge Sampaoli. Juan Antonio Pizzi is the new man on the hot seat and his biggest task is making sure his team adjust to a new era. One thing is for sure, his calm demeanor has been a breath of fresh air for the players as his philosophy in training focuses on the calm and the approachable, a contrast to Sampa’s hyperactive intensity. The question remains: Is this going to help or hurt Chile? On the field, however, the strategy will be similar to Sampaoli’s style, a combination of Guardiola-esque possession mixed with the suffocating pressing game of Marcelo Bielsa. | Chile, meanwhile, have been going through a major transition as they look for a new beginning since the departure of their legendary manager Jorge Sampaoli.
