These words are both very similar. But ‘eventually’ can also be used to look into the future- e.g “eventually I want to get married”. ‘Finally’ can not be used this way (“finally I want to get married” is a bit unnatural)
To emphasise that something has taken a very long time to happen, finally is better to use
“He finally won! (After a very long time of trying to do so)”
“Eventually I will learn Japanese” (<— looking into the future)

Finally is used when someone actually get around to doing something you have been asking them to do or when you do something you have been putting off. For example you would use it when someone does something when you have asked them to do many times “You finally to out the rubbish”

"It finally happened!"
"It will happen eventually.."
Finally it means it has happened after a while, eventually means it will happen later.
