At 39 years old, Argentina's idol Lionel Messi will play this Tuesday, October 6, at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, his last match wearing the albiceleste jersey, against Benin in a friendly. A final dance, as a national tribute, that promises a host of strong emotions.
85,000 privileged fans will have their eyes fixed on the small silhouette in his white and sky-blue jersey, emblazoned with the most famous number in football. And millions watching on their televisions. At 8:00 PM local time (7:00 AM in Port-au-Prince), Lionel Messi will make his last bursts of speed, showcase his final dribbles and feints, and perhaps score his last goals with Argentina in a stadium more monumental than ever.
