The player had his last cap with the Albiceleste, in Argentina.

For the occasion: a brace and powerful words from the player.

For this special last match, Lionel Messi brought his sons onto the pitch to sing the national anthem.

During the warm-up, the football legend let a few tears show.

"To be able to finish this way, it’s everything I dreamed of," he said at the end of the match.

No one is ready to see him go after the 2026 World Cup.
