The defending champions have been performing brilliantly in the Copa America 2024 campaign. The team has won all four games so far and scored six goals in the process, while also maintaining the joint-best defensive effort in the league and only conceding one goal.
The only cause for concern for the reigning world champions is that their captain Lionel Messi is yet to score in the tournament. The Inter Miami forward has created 0.85 expected goals per game and had 1.3 shots on target while providing one assist so far. Lisandro Martínez is the leading goalscorer in the tournament with four goals.
They struggled in the quarterfinals against Ecuador and Emiliano Martínez, one of the game's best ever penalty specialists, once again led them to victory.
Argentina is the joint record winner with the other semi-finalists. Uruguay has 15 named after both countries.
The two teams had previously faced each other in the opening game of the tournament, with Argentina winning 2–0 thanks to goals from Julián Álvarez and Martínez.
Canada, on the other hand, is participating in the tournament for the first time and has a chance to create history. The team could become the second non-CONMEBOL team to qualify for the finals of the trophy.
Their journey to the final was full of uncertainty and a 1–0 win over Peru followed by a 0–0 draw against Chile saw them qualify for the quarter-finals, where they defeated Venezuela 4–3 on penalties.
Canada head coach Jesse March said after their win over Venezuela, "Argentina is going to have to have the best match we've ever played and it still may not be enough. But, whatever. We're in for it." About to go."
