Lionel Messi will bring the curtain down on his glittering Argentina career with a farewell friendly against Benin that marks the dawn of a new era for the South American champions. After more than two decades of service to his country, the 39-year-old superstar will hand over the captain’s armband for good as he makes his final appearance in the Albiceleste jersey on Tuesday at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.
Messi will be joined for his international swansong by 85,000 spectators and several of the teammates with whom he reached the pinnacle of football at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, alongside members of Argentina’s emerging generation.
The episode also looks at a selection of UEFA Nations League matches, including Spain's trip to Croatia. The reigning World Champions have won their first three Nations League matches, and they can wrap up a perfect international break when they visit Croatia on Tuesday. The Spanish were 4-1 winners against Croatia in Seville last month, and they are heavily expected to make it 4 wins from 4 against Croatian side fresh from a 7-0 drubbing against England.
