Lionel Messi plays, Argentina vs Brazil official starting line up after losing against Uruguay

The CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup are about to begin the fifth gameweek. The match between the Brazil National Team and Argentina is scheduled to take place this Tuesday, November 21. Argentina and Brazil will face each other on the field of the Maracaná Stadium, the match is the fourth of the five matches scheduled for that date, since all the matches are played on the same day. In fact, it will be the penultimate one, since Peru vs Venezuela will still be played.

Argentina lost against Uruguay 2-0, and Brazil lost 2-1 against Colombia, therefore, the two most important teams in Conmebol face each other in a duel where more than three points are at stake. Although the squads they have are among the best, added to this is the urgency of both countries to win, since they stumbled in their matches the previous day.

These will be the lineups: Brazil: Alisson, Emerson, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Renan Lodi, Gabriel Martinelli, André, Bruno Guimaraes, Raphinha, Rodrygo and Joao Pedro. Argentina: Emiliano Martínez, Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, Rodrigo de Paul, Nicolás González, Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi.

Messi's words after losing against Uruguay:

“Against Uruguay it is always like this. I prefer not to say what I think, but hey, these people have to learn, the young people, they have a good litter, a good team. But they have to learn to respect from his elders, because this Classic was always intense, hard, but with a lot of respect.”
