🎅 Lionel Scaloni’s letter to Father Christmas: dreaming of a big 2026 | OneFootball

Today, the Argentine people gather to celebrate another Christmas Eve, and Lionel Scaloni already has a very special letter prepared.

The Final Leap for Some Promising Talents

Surely, the first thing that comes to the Argentine coach’s mind is that some players like Nico Paz, Franco Mastantuono, or Diablito Echeverri finally make the leap to become established stars.

The generational change will be key to providing new options for a national team that is aiming for everything next July.

Having a 100% Fit Messi

No one can deny that all the concern of the Argentine people centers on how Messi will arrive at what is possibly his last World Cup appearance.

At Inter Miami, he suffered some physical discomfort, but if there’s one certainty, it’s that La Pulga will do everything to be fully fit.

First the Finalissima, Then the World Cup

Wrapping up La Scaloneta’s letter, there’s no doubt that this generation wants to bid farewell in grand style.

First comes the Finalissima in March, and then the World Cup. The objective is crystal clear: to bring everything home to Argentina.
