Last night, Argentina faced Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Thanks to a gala Lionel Messi, the team led by Lionel Scaloni won by a wide margin.
Last Friday, Lionel Messi (37 years old) was very annoyed after the draw (1-1) between Venezuela and Argentina. More than the result, it was the conditions in which the match took place that made the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner spin. Indeed, the two teams played on a pitch that looked more like a swimming pool than a billiard table.
On a much more playable pitch in Buenos Aires, Argentina showed a different side last night against Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Lionel Scaloni’s players won 6-0 with a gala Messi. The Argentine star was involved in almost all the goals in the match. In fact, he scored a hat-trick.
A scorer, he also provided two assists as he provided assists to Lautaro Martinez (43rd) and Julian Álvarez (45th+3). A perfect evening for the Albiceleste captain who carried his team last night. Very moved after the final whistle, Lionel Messi gave his impressions while discussing his personal future.
“The truth is that I haven’t set a date or a deadline, I’m just enjoying all this. I’m very happy to be here and to feel the love of the people because I know that these could be my last (matches). Now I have the end of the season (with Inter Miami) left, then start the year by having a good pre-season.” he said.
