Maracana Stadium

Rio de Janeiro, July 9: Brazil vs Argentina. It's a dream match in football and the Copa America final will offer us a chance to watch this thrilling event on Sunday (July 10) at the iconic Maracana Stadium.

Then we have this slew of super stars in both the sides like Neymar, Lionel Messi, Richarlison, Paqueta, Sergio Aguero etc who can fire-up a match as only they can. Meanwhile, Colombia will face Peru in the third-place play-off on Saturday (July 10, 5.30 AM IST).

But let's turn our focus back on the final. And here's all you need to know details such as head-to- head record, India timing and TV channel etc.

They South American teams have faced each other 111 times so far. Brazil have won 46 times, Argentina 40 and there are 25 draws.

Former Barcelona teammates Messi and Neymar will line up opposite each other in this match and they will be aiming to win their first Copa America title. Like Brazil's Pele and Diego Maradona of Argentina, neither Messi nor Neymar has ever won the Copa. That statistic will change for one of them on Sunday.

For six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, this will be his fourth Copa final and perhaps his last chance to finish on the winning side. He's been his team's standout performer in Copa America 2021, scoring four goals and creating five more -- the tournament leader in both categories. But at 34, this may well be his last Copa and next year's World Cup could be his last major international tournament altogether.

So far, finals have led only to disappointment for Messi having lost in 2007, 2015 and 2016 at the Copa, and seen his side beaten 1-0 by Germany at the 2014 World Cup.

On the other hand, at 29, Neymar has a bit more time on his side but he was injured and absent two years ago when Brazil won their ninth Copa title on home soil, beating Peru 3-1 in the final.
