Cambiasso: Finalissima will be an unusual match for me

Former Inter star and Argentinian international Esteban Cambiasso looks ahead to the Finalissima with split loyalties.

"It's a great idea, - said Cambiasso speaking of Finalissima to UEFA.com. - There have always been match-ups between European and South American teams in the past – not between national teams but between club sides in the historic Intercontinental Cup.

It's a very new and important match. It's an unusual final for me because my two countries play against each other; the one I was born in and the one I chose to live and have my children in. So, for me and my family it's a very special match. The situation of each team is different. Argentina have the big hope of playing a great World Cup, which could be Messi's last, and it has been years since Argentina won the competition. On the other hand, we're still sad Italy didn't qualify for the World Cup.

Lionel Scaloni has done a great job with amazing players and he knew the perfect moment to attack. The final against Brazil, on Brazilian soil, proves it. Argentina have been playing very well, and they have built a great team. Training encapsulates many things. Those who don't know much believe players work on the physical side, the psychological side or the environment, but you train to coordinate all these aspects to achieve a good result".
