    FIFA World Cup: Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes Monday's FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain represents a symbolic passing of the torch, with Lionel Messi carrying the legacy of the club's golden generation and Lamine Yamal emerging as the face of its future.

    Speaking ahead of the title clash at MetLife Stadium, Laporta said Barcelona's famed La Masia academy will once again be in the global spotlight, with Messi captaining Argentina while Spain boasts a squad packed with current and former Barcelona players, including teenage sensation Yamal.

    "Messi has reached another World Cup final, and that makes everyone associated with La Masia proud. He represents everything Barcelona has achieved over the years, while Lamine represents what lies ahead. We are fortunate that both reflect the footballing identity of our club," Laporta told RAC1 as quoted by Goal.com.
