An astrologer named Christina has predicted Argentina to come out on top in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, claiming Lionel Messi and the reigning world champions appear to be “empowered by the transits” ahead of their blockbuster showdown with Spain.

Argentina and Spain will go head-to-head at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday July 19 in one of the most anticipated FIFA World Cup finals in recent memory. Ahead of the clash, CBS Sports Golazo invited astrologer Christina to analyze the astrological charts of both teams and predict the outcome of the match.

Discussing Lionel Messi who has everyone’s attention following his spectacular displays in the competition so far, she said:

“I think that Messi’s transit looks like he’s driven… driven, driven, driven.”

Christina then turned her attention to Spain, explaining why she believes La Roja’s astrological profile reflects the identity they have shown throughout the tournament.

“Spain is interesting because Virgo, they have four planets in Virgo and Virgo is a hardworking, organized, sort of hyper-functional sign that likes to excel through, I would say, regular hard work. This is a very hardworking team, this is a team that loves to stay grounded, have a plan.”

The astrologer went on to point out the similarities between the two finalists before revealing which side she believes has the edge.

“What’s also interesting about Argentina is that it is also a Sagittarius rising just like Spain. They both have their nodes of fate in Scorpio and in Taurus and so they have the same type of fated energies, fascinatingly enough. We can see how they both got pulled into this special moment right now.”

When asked to predict the winner, she said:

“It’s a really difficult question to answer but I do think that Argentina really look empowered by the transits right now.”

The last time Argentina and Spain faced each other in the FIFA World Cup dates back to 1966 when they clashed in the group stage in England. The Albiceleste came out on top with a 2-1 victory from the encounter. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be this time.

Argentina chase back-to-back FIFA World Cup titles against Spain

Argentina head into the FIFA World Cup final aiming to become the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to successfully defend the men’s World Cup title. All eyes will be on Lionel Messi to finish the job after inspiring his nation to another final on the world’s biggest stage.

Meanwhile, Spain have also proven to be a huge force to be reckoned with in the tournament this year. Spearheaded by 19-year-old Lamine Yamal in attack, the reigning European champions are seeking their first FIFA World Cup crown since lifting the trophy in South Africa back in 2010.

Regardless of the outcome, Sunday’s final promises to pit two of the tournament’s most in-form sides against each other in what is expected to be a memorable conclusion to the competition. Will the Albiceleste finally claim their fourth World Cup trophy or will Spain get their second? Only time will tell.
