Argentina thrashed Burkina Faso 7-0 in a friendly match at the Monumental, amid severe travel disruptions for the visitors. Lautaro Martínez equaled Sergio Agüero's scoring record as the team prepares for Lionel Messi's farewell match.

Lionel Scaloni is reportedly nearing a contract extension to remain head coach of the Argentina national team through the 2028 Copa America and potentially the 2030 World Cup.

Lionel Messi is set for an official farewell match with the Argentina national team against Benin on October 6 in Buenos Aires, following his retirement announcement.

Association president Claudio Tapia made it clear that no pressure will be applied on the 39-year-old star to continue until the 2028 Copa America: "Let him continue to enjoy football and decide what is right for him." And what about Scaloni?

Conspiracy theories following Argentina's World Cup final loss have reached the home of Facundo Medina. The national team defender dismissed the rumors, emphasizing that the defeat was purely professional.

Juan Román Riquelme praised Lionel Messi following Argentina's journey to the 2026 World Cup final, hinting that the captain might have surpassed Diego Maradona, but refused to declare him the greatest of all time. The Boca Juniors president also lauded Lionel Scaloni.
