Lionel Messi: Peter Drury's epic commentary about Argentina star after Finalissima win v Italy

Argentina lifted their second trophy in 11 months as they defeated Italy in the Finalissima on Wednesday evening.

The match at Wembley saw the Copa America winners take on the Euro 2020 champions.

Argentina were dominant from the outset and ran out comfortable winners.

Lautero Martinez, Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala were all on the scoresheet as Lionel Scaloni’s side cruised to a 3-0 victory.

Lionel Messi may not have been among the goals but he was absolutely outstanding throughout.

He produced a magical assist for Martinez’s opener. He then created Dybala’s goal in stoppage-time.

Peter Drury was covering the game on Premier Sports and his commentary about Messi after his masterclass was spine-tingling.

As Messi picked up the Man of the Match award, Drury said: “It will come as little surprise to anyone who embraced this football match, that the Man of that Match, should be named Lionel Messi.

“His was a vintage display. In a team context, an individual who floated above it all. Very often without the ball, but especially with it. Goodness me, he must have a well upholstered mantlepiece.”
