On October 6, at the “Monumental” stadium, not only the fans present, but millions around the world, will follow live Leo Messi's last challenge with Argentina, in the friendly against Benin. Sooner or later, this moment was inevitable, and “The Flea” is also aware of this, who, through a video on his social networks, published the jersey that he will wear in the friendly, accompanied by the words: “The last match, a jersey for life” , writes Messi.
The friendly against Benin ends a legendary chapter, where in two decades, Messi gave Argentina a lot, above all a World Cup. Messi debuted with the national team jersey on August 17, 2005, at the age of 18. In 21 years, Messi scored 115 goals in 196 matches, becoming the best scorer in the history of the national team.
