🤔What now for Argentina after Messi's retirement? | OneFootball

Without a doubt, the afternoon in Argentina turned gray. Leo Messi, captain and historic symbol of the national team, has decided to hang up his boots, leaving a huge void in the Albiceleste.

More retirements on the way?

With the farewell of the Argentine star, it is possible that a period of transition will begin in the Argentine national team. Rodrigo De Paul could be another one to announce his retirement, as could Leandro Paredes, both leaders in midfield.

The new generation

Without a doubt, it will be an opportunity for the new generation to step up. Players like Nico Paz and Valentín Barco, among others, will have to take a big step forward while waiting to see what Scaloni might do going forward. Because it is worth remembering that the coach also left the door open to a possible departure.

Even so, right now the feeling in Argentina is that, for the moment, there is no tomorrow. Today is a day to say goodbye to, perhaps, the greatest in history.
