The match, starting in Sao Paulo will be a clash of the brilliance of Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben. After Germany's 7-1 evisceration of Brazil, it will also be a new pressure cooker showdown between Europe and South America.
Two-time cup winners Argentina, who last reached the final in 1990, will be determined to pay appropriate homage to former great Alfredo Di Stefano, who died on Monday aged 88.
The two teams will carry competing motivations into Wednesday's fixture. The winners will face Germany at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana in Sunday's final.
