Thousands of Argentina supporters have flocked to Buenos Aires to witness what will be Lionel Messi’s final appearance for the national team. The crowd gathered outside the iconic Monumental stadium as the World Cup-winning captain prepares to conclude a distinguished 21-year international career.
Messi, who stands as Argentina’s all-time leading scorer, announced recently that it is time for a new generation of players to step forward and lead the national side.
Twenty-one years is insane. Hope he retires with a win.
Monumental looked packed. You could feel the love and nostalgia in the air.
Who do you think takes over as captain? Need a new leader urgently.
I can’t believe it’s finally over. The farewell match will be emotional.
What a legendary career. Goodbye Leo, you gave us everything.
