El seleccionador de España, Luis de la Fuente, ha roto su silencio para defender a la Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) en medio de las repercusiones del fracaso de la Finalissima entre La Roja y Argentina, y ha atribuido la responsabilidad de la cancelación del partido a la selección sudamericana. El encuentro, que habría enfrentado a los campeones de Europa contra los campeones del mundo, nunca llegó a celebrarse a pesar de meses de planificación.
El presidente de la CONMEBOL, Alejandro Domínguez, ha declarado de forma sensacionalista que Argentina es «bicampeona» de la Finalissima. El máximo responsable sudamericano arremetió contra España y la UEFA después de que se cancelara oficialmente el esperado enfrentamiento entre los campeones continentales.
Según se ha informado, el capitán de Argentina, Lionel Messi, se ha quedado decepcionado tras la cancelación oficial de la Finalissima 2026. El jugador estrella del Inter Miami consideraba este partido contra España, campeona de la Eurocopa 2024, como un encuentro competitivo fundamental y no como un simple partido de exhibición. El partido debía celebrarse a finales de este mes, pero ha sido cancelado debido a cuestiones geopolíticas.
Los aficionados al fútbol se quedarán sin el enfrentamiento soñado entre Lionel Messi y Lamine Yamal, tras la cancelación oficial de la Finalissima de 2026 entre Argentina y España. Tras el traslado forzoso del partido desde Catar debido a cuestiones geopolíticas, el colapso total de las negociaciones llevó a la Asociación Argentina de Fútbol a rechazar varias propuestas de la UEFA —entre ellas, un enfrentamiento en el Bernabéu—, lo que ha provocado que este esperado encuentro entre campeones se haya cancelado por conflictos de calendario irresolubles.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
