Everything comes to an end.

This might have been Leo’s last match for the national team on home soil.

Details: Before the friendly match against Zambia began, Argentine great Lionel Messi appeared emotional, with tears in his eyes.

The reason is clear: this game was likely the last time Messi would wear Argentina’s jersey at home. There are no more home matches planned for Argentina, and Messi is set to leave the national team after the World Cup.

Despite the emotional atmosphere, the Argentinians focused and won against Zambia 5-0, with Messi scoring in the 43rd minute.
