Mentioned in this video
The first ever 48-team World Cup came down to Spain and Argentina, and so for the final episode of The World’s Cup, there was only one place to go.
Barcelona. Lionel Messi’s spiritual home. Lamine Yamal’s birthplace. The city Joan Montfort, the photographer who took the now legendary photo of the two, calls home. In different circumstances, Barcelona could have been Messi’s route into the Spanish national team. As it happened, it was the place he became the GOAT to Argentina’s eternal benefit.
We sent Eli and Hussein to tackle this together but separately. They catch up with Joan to learn the truth behind the photo, visit Rocafonda, the diverse neighbourhood where Yamal honed his own world class talent, and frantically search for the best place to watch Spain and Argentina’s first competitive meeting for 60 years, a fitting finale for Lionel Messi.
This is Spain.
This is Argentina.
This is The World’s Cup.
