The last Dance in National colors 🐐

[Agbam]

So finally we’ve come to the end of this beautiful, exciting, entertaining, epic and almost mystical journey with Lionel Messi; the greatest player that ever lived. The most decorated player in history winning over 45 major trophies. He has scored 126 goals and provided 70 assists in 208 games for Argentina.


Fun Fact
Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini   who made his World Cup debut in 2006
He went on to wear the prestigious number 10 jersey
And Played his final match in Argentine colors in 2026
And the date was 6/10/26…… There is no better script than this.

Messi was destined for greatness and he went out in style with a goal and two assists. Assisting one of the oldest players in the team and one of the youngest players.
The last assist to Nico Paz was almost symbolic like passing the torch of greatness to the young lad; the way he curled that ball in was superb ( they didn’t use him at the World Cup).

Messi made football look so easy on the eyes, made jokes of defenders and goalkeepers….Made impossible situations into moments of pure bliss. The most beautiful football I witnessed was watching Messi play.

And now So sad We will no longer see him in Argentinian colors.
A lot of us who support Argentina today, do so because of Messi, I wonder if there will ever be any player again to make me love Argentina.
The  Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (Argentine Football Association) has tried once again to retire the number 10 jersey but according to FIFA rules they can’t but have promised to keep it aside for friendlies as a show of respect

Thank you Messi for the Joy you gave us Football fans …. The games you won and the tickets you won for us!!…

I wish Ronaldo settles with his National team, he also deserves a King’s farewell!.

Gracias por todo, Leo
The End of an Era 🇦🇷🐐

The football world will really feel the absence of the greatest of all time, the comparison between him and Ronaldo is always what makes football gist so fun.

Messi leaving football would actually be like a barrel without anything inside, as the fun of watching football will reduce alot although the new generations that are taking over  are also competitive, but his absences will be felt alot.

The Argentine football association sign of respect also is admirable, it's a sign that they respect and appreciate one of their legend that won them what they ever wished. Happy international retirement GOAT, wish you all the best.

How does this affect Argentina overall? I think it's really the end of an era. Even though he has given so much for Argentina, there were definitely times when he received negative comments for losing international finals. That's definitely a big one, but of course, there's still the redemption arc.

He will for sure inspire others to continue the journey.

Yesterday was indeed one of the greatest days in international football, as the world joined hands to say a final farewell to Lionel Messi by his national Argentina football team, who have proven over the years to be a footballer worthy of emulation in his two decades of being active in football, and haven scored 126 goals in his 208 appearances and 69 international assists. And to be honestly speaking, the celebration yesterday was truly worth it, because Lionel Messi's influence and impact on international football and fans can never be overemphasized, including the fact that he led Argentina to winning the 2022 World Cup and alsp won Copa America twice in 2021 and 2024.

There is no doubt that Lionel Messi is truly great and one of the best football players in the world. It is absolutely true that Argentine fans will never forget Messi, it will be very difficult for fans to accept Messi departure from the team, but there is nothing they can do, we have to accept the reality. Messi was the main strength of Argentina, we all know very well, Lionel Messi has undoubtedly tried his best to take the Argentina team to a good position and to maintain and increase the team's honor.

There’s no doubt that we’re talking about one of the greatest of all time, alongside Maradona, Pelé and Cruyff and even Cristiano Ronaldo, but that last match against Benin was more of an insult to his career: a lacklustre team with no good players. Just imagine if he’d played his final match against Brazil, Germany or France  it would have been far better and more rewarding. In any case, what mattered in the end was paying tribute to the achievements of a legendary champion. Now I’m just waiting for him to finish his career at Newell’s Old Boys; that would be only right.

Football is a game of surprises were you think there wouldn’t be anyone to take over that space that is when you will likely see someone who is more skillful than Messi. Well, to me he has been a king of his country in terms of football, but yet as we think no one can take over his spots the more people who are more talented would revealed themselves. As I know, there were people who did better than him in the history of football but back then people were thinking they wouldn’t have a replacement but today we celebrate them for their inputs and hard work toward football making football more insightful and entertaining.
Messi, CR7 and others has made football more entertaining as we wait for more people who would take over their space unveil themselves.

The impact over Argentinian national team will be huge, because he was an essential element in the group. Messi wasn't solely a scorer, but a versatile player who played in different positions and contexts. Probably the most complete player in the history of soccer.

In the last world cup it was notorious the difference of Argentina playing with him and without him. With his participation on the plays and without. I believe the tendency is that Argentina loses performance on the following tournaments without Messi.

I think you made a mistake there, lol. But Lionel Messi isn't one of the best players, he is the best player in world football, and until he retires and someone out performs his record, he is going to still be the best player in world football and ever, others can only be best player at a time. I was talking to my friend and I told him that Messi is the closest thing to the second coming of Jesus Christ with the way he United the World through his football
