@mmsports_1: Lionel Messi is playing his final international match for Argentina today, October 6, 2026, in a specially arranged farewell friendly against Benin at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) dubbed the highly anticipated event "The Night That No One Wants to End," organized to honor the 39-year-old icon following his international retirement announcement in August. The celebration features musical performances, a surprise post-match finale, and a unique commemorative kit celebrating the legendary number 10. Coach Lionel Scaloni even recalled several of Messi's 2022 World Cup-winning teammates—including already-retired stars like Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi—to participate in the emotional send-off. #lionelmessi #MMSport #argentina🇦🇷
