(Reuters) - Italy will look to put the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup behind them and kick-start a new era for the Azzurri by beating Argentina in the 'Finalissima', Italy players said on Tuesday.
The match on Wednesday between the European champions and the Copa America winners will be played at Wembley Stadium, where Italy triumphed over England on penalties last July to win their second European Championship title.
"We wrote history in this stadium, so we gave a great emotion to all Italians," Lorenzo Insigne told reporters. Lionel Messi's Argentina are no pushovers, however, with the team stitching together a 31-match unbeaten run heading into the showdown at Wembley. "Because as we've said, with this trophy we need to start over and set the basis to return Italy to where it deserves , where it was one year ago."
