| You’re a statistical angel sent from numerical heaven, Paul. | |
| Chile completed more passes than Argentina in the 1st half (207-187). Argentina completed over twice as many in the attacking 3rd (46-22). | |

| Half time | |
| And that’s the end of the half. A lively half and just like last year’s final it’s 0-0 at the break. I’ll be back for the second half shortly. | |
| 3.52am BST | |
| 03:52 | |
| 45 min: We’re going to have one minute of added time. | |
| 3.51am BST | |

| 43 min: Isla picks up a yellow as he brings down Gaitan. Free kick to Argentina, 25 yards out. | |
| 3.50am BST | |
| 03:50 | |
| 42 min: Higuain is working so hard to press but the biggest issue is that he keeps finding himself on wide areas when he collects the ball. A great cross into the box from Vargas sends the defenders into panic mode but Argentina clears. | |
| 3.46am BST | |
| 03:46 | |
| 38 min: As we close up the first half both teams are still pressing the game not allowing them to start play from the back. I feel as it will only take one mistake from the back....I’m looking at you Otamendi. | |
| 3.44am BST | |
| 03:44 | |
| I’m thinking 75th minute but what’s 5 minutes between friends? | |
| @lmechegaray given the pace and the openness of the match, it's all set up for Messi to come on at the 70 min mark and score two goals. | |

| 33 min: A dangerous free kick for Chile taken by Alexis Sanchez finds the target but Romero has no problem with it as he collects. Chile growing in confidence. | |
| 3.38am BST | |

| Side note: I will be SHOCKED if Vidal doesn’t get sent off. He is bordering on reckless. | |

Gaitán, who looks very lively, drives through the middle, looks for Di Maria on the left hand side who takes a shot and goes wide. | 8 min: Both teams still feeling each other out as there are still some sloppy passes in the first moments of the game.

| The teams are out and ready for the National Anthems. Argentina is first. Judging by the singing it appears there is a lot of support for La Albiceleste. It’s most definitely one of my favorite anthems. Next up is Chile (for a second time in two days) and the players turn to face their flag. Ok, maybe the stadium is split because I can also hear a lot of Chilean support. Oh no. Once again there is a malfunction with the music but Chile keeps singing. Get it together, Copa. | The teams are out and ready for the National Anthems. Argentina is first. Judging by the singing it appears there is a lot of support for La Albiceleste.

| 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.

| 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.
