Argentine vs Bénin (3-0) : des adieux de rêve pour Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi bid farewell to the Argentine national team in the most spectacular way. On Tuesday night, at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, the Albiceleste secured a resounding 3-0 victory against Benin, giving their legend an unforgettable final evening in the national jersey.
Celebrated by the entire Argentinian nation, Lionel Messi enjoyed his final dance with the Albiceleste. After a first half in which he tried many things without finding a way through, La Pulga finally rediscovered his form after the break.
In the 48th minute, the Argentine captain turned provider for Nicolas Otamendi, who opened the scoring. An hour into the game, Messi struck again, setting up Nico Paz for the second goal, a player touted as one of his potential successors (61st minute).
The 85,000 spectators at the Monumental, eagerly awaiting the chance to see their idol score, were finally rewarded. After Giay won a penalty, Lionel Messi calmly converted the spot-kick to score Argentina's third goal.
This goal will remain historic as it constitutes Messi's 126th and last goal in the colors of Argentina.
With Lionel Messi's international retirement, a huge chapter in the history of Argentine football comes to a close. A chapter written in gold by the man who notably won the Copa América and the World Cup with the Albiceleste.
