Alejandro Domínguez, the president of Conmebol, made remarks regarding the cancelled Finalissima during a recent press event attended after the draw for the Libertadores and Sudamericana cups. He declared the Argentine national team, affectionately referred to as 'La Scaloneta,' as champions due to Spain's absence from the event. Domínguez acknowledged the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that prompted the cancellation of this match-up, highlighting an unfortunate end to the anticipated event.

While expressing this sentiment towards the Argentine team, Domínguez remarked that the cancellation did not meet expectations and reiterated that the South American champions are open to playing 'anywhere.' This affirmation not only showcases Argentina’s willingness to engage in international play, despite the circumstances surrounding the Finalissima, but also places them at the forefront of discussions around the tournament.

The comments from Domínguez also serve as a reminder of the significant role that international fixtures play in the development and reputation of national teams, particularly in the context of global conflicts that may hinder such match-ups. The decision to not finalize the Finalissima on the pitch has implications for football fans and players alike, indicating a need for flexibility and adaptability within the world of sports.
