Lionel Messi broke down in tears upon arriving at the Más Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, where he was set to bid farewell to the Argentine national team. The emotional scene unfolded as the three-time world champions prepared to face Benin in a friendly match that would cap off the Super FIFA Window. Clad in the iconic number 10 jersey, Messi, who is Argentina's all-time leading goal scorer and assist provider with 125 goals and 65 assists in 207 appearances, appeared emotional inside the team bus.
Throughout his career, Argentina achieved significant success under Messi's leadership, winning the 2022 World Cup, finishing as runners-up in 2014 and 2026, and claiming two Copa América titles. In the days leading up to the match, a giant number 10 jersey was spotted in the skies above Buenos Aires, symbolizing the celebration of Messi's legacy.
