Without notice, Lionel Messi will continue to play for the Argentina national team for the time being. That said national coach Lionel Scaloni of the world champion, who has his captain back in his native country for two practice matches. “I see a happy person in the selection.”
Argentina will play against Panama in a few days in Buenos Aires, the country’s first match since beating France in the final of the World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year. Scaloni said he wants to continue on the same path with his team. “We are difficult to beat and it must remain that way. Although it will become increasingly difficult. Everyone wants to beat Argentina now more than ever.”
After winning the world title, Messi already indicated that he would continue as an international for the time being. The player from the French Paris Saint-Germain was not linked to a specific period. Scaloni himself has since extended his contract until 2026.
