A un paso de la Finalissima: La historia de los Argentina - Italia
Los enfrentamientos de fútbol entre Italia y Argentina tienen casi 7 décadas de vida. Ambas selecciones saben lo que es ganar la Copa del Mundo, y son grandes colosos del balompié en su continente. Se vieron las caras por primera vez en el año 1954, un 5 de diciembre si concretamos más. El anfitrión de aquel encuentro fue el combinado italiano, que recibió en el Olímpico de Roma a una Albiceleste dirigida por Guillermo Stábile. El primero gol de un Italia-Argentina llegaría tan pronto como se pudo: en el minuto 1 de encuentro, Amleto Frignani adelantaba a los italianos con un gol que batía a Amadeo Carrizo, arquero argentino que más tarde sería sustituido al iniciar la segunda parte. El 2-0 definitivo sería obra de Carlo Galli, un resultado con el que concluiría este encuentro amistoso que marcaría el inicio de una rivalidad histórica.
