Lionel Messi is set to play his final match for Argentina on Tuesday, October 6, in a friendly against Benin. The game will take place at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, marking the end of an era for the 39-year-old.
The match concludes an international career in the Albiceleste jersey that spanned more than two decades. Messi's legacy with his country includes a World Cup title during his 21-year international career.
Dubbed "The Night That No One Wants to End," the friendly marks a symbolic passing of the torch. Many expect lots of tears as Messi plays for his country one last time.
