Football》Messi’s last dance with the Argentina national team ended with a tearful ending with 1 goal and 2 assists

The Argentina men's football team defeated Benin 3-0 in an international friendly match at home. Legendary star Lionel Messi also completed his last dance with the national team. The 39-year-old veteran scored 1 goal and sent 2 assists. He made a perfect ending and bid farewell to the national team career of more than 20 years in tears at the Monument Stadium in Buenos Aires, where the fans cheered.

Messi announced his decision to retire in August after Argentina lost the World Cup this summer to powerful rival Spain and failed to defend the title. He showed off his strength in the second half of this campaign, not only sending out two assists, allowing teammates Nicolas Otamendi and Nico Paz to connect and break the net. The veteran also scored a 12-yard penalty kick in the 71st minute, which was also the 126th goal scored in the 208th game for Argentina, once again breaking his personal record in team history. The atmosphere was completely detonated, and all the spectators once again shouted "Messi, Messi!"

Before the game, when the team bus drove out of the training center named after Messi, it attracted thousands of fans along the way. Messi couldn't help but be moved and wiped away tears. In the end, he also made a perfect call. When the whistle sounded, teammates, opponents and referees gathered around Messi to hug and pay tribute. Then the drone light show lit up the night sky. Landmarks across the capital lit up with Argentina's representative sky blue and white lights, and fireworks over the stadium were gorgeous. After bidding farewell to the national team, Messi will still fight on the field and continue to play for Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer League.

"It's hard to speak now. There are many emotions in my heart and many things in my mind. The first thing I thought of was my dad." Messi gathered his emotions and paid an affectionate tribute to the fans: "Wearing this jersey is a huge pride for me. For more than 20 years, wearing this jersey is extremely proud for me. It will be very painful for me not to return to the national team. I swear that I am willing to fight for the country for the rest of my life, because playing for Argentina is the best thing in life."
