Which players stand out for Argentina?

Even at 38, about to turn 39 (on June 24), Messi is Argentina’s great hope. After winning the World Cup in 2022, the forward hinted that he would not play in another World Cup. However, the number 10 is still active and remains one of the team’s game-changers.

While Argentina believes in experienced players like Messi, De Paul, Otamendi, and Dibu Martínez, the team led by Lionel Scaloni is also counting on young talents such as Almada, Mac Allister, and Enzo Fernández. A familiar name to Brazilian football fans, Flaco López, from Palmeiras, is on the bench.

Which players stand out for Algeria?

Algeria’s most famous name is Zidane. Relax, the former Real Madrid (ESP) star is not the coach of the African team. But ‘Zizou’s’ son, Luca Zidane, is the team’s goalkeeper. The Algerian squad also includes players who compete in the world’s top leagues.

Striker Amine Gouiri plays for Olympique de Marseille (FRA), while midfielder Mohamed Amoura plays for Wolfsburg (GER). At left back, Rayan Ait Nouri, of Manchester City (ENG), is the one to watch. But the squad’s main star is Riyad Mahrez, currently at Al Ahli (SAU), but with a memorable spell at Manchester City.
