Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro is confident that the Selecao will thrash Argentina 5-0 in the Copa America final, which is set to kick off on Sunday morning (Bangladesh time).

In a meeting with several South American leaders, Bolsonaro teased his Argentina counterpart, Alberto Fernandez, ahead of the final between the two teams, reports marca.com.

"The only rivalry [between Brazil and Argentina] will be next Saturday at Maracana," said Bolsonaro, who subsequently made the five-finger gesture.

"Brazil will win 5-0."

The South American match will be Lionel Messi's opportunity to finally win a major trophy with Argentina, as he has not managed to lead the Albiceleste to a title despite his successful Barcelona career.
