Lionel Messi arrived in Argentina, who will he play against and how to watch the match LIVE

Lionel Messi has already finished his season with Inter Miami. Despite having a giant impact on the team, David Beckham's team has now failed to qualify for the Major League Soccer playoffs, and will have a four-month break without activity. The good thing is that at least Lionel Messi will be able to play for Argentina this week.

The national teams of CONMEBOL, that is, of South America, will play this week in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. This Thursday, October 12, the Argentina team, led by Lionel Messi, will play against Paraguay, at the Monumental stadium. Argentina has two games, and two victories, against Bolivia and Ecuador.

After that match, the world champion team in Qatar 2022 will face Peru, this time away from home. Both games can be tuned in in the United States via ViX, TelevisaUnivision's Spanish-language service.

How is the general classification going?

Brazil leads the table, with six points and five goals in favor. Argentina is in second place, with six points equal to Brazil, but with only four goals in favor. Colombia remains in third place, with four points. Uruguay is fifth place, followed by Venezuela and Paraguat. It is worth remembering that only the first six in the group qualified, and the seventh place will fight in the playoffs.
