(VIDEO) This is how Lionel Messi arrived at La Bombonera to face Uruguay

Lionel Messi and Argentina face Uruguay in a match corresponding to the CONMEBOL qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup. The Argentine team is significantly positioned as one of the best performing teams in the world. Uruguay and Argentina will have a match for posterity in a legendary setting like La Bombonera. Lionel Messi returns to the starting team and important things are expected for this match.

The world champion team will take the field with: Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi and Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández; Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez and Nicolás González. On the other hand, Uruguay leaves with Sergio Rochet; Ronald Araujo, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathías Olivera, Matías Viña; Manuel Ugarte, Federico Valverde, Nicolás De La Cruz, Facundo Pellistri; Maximiliano Araújo and Darwin Núñez.

The captain of the Argentine National Team arrived in his country to play the third double date that the South American qualifying menu offers, which offers a very special dish: first Uruguay, as a home team, and then Brazil, as a visitor. The commitment of the current top star of Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States to his National Team remains intact.

Will Messi play in the 2024 Copa America?

Lionel Messi made history in the recent 2022 World Cup where he finally won the title he sought for so long. "I still don't know if I will make it to the next World Cup. I don't have it in my head. I am clear that I want to be in the Copa América in the United States; it is my goal," he said. There is a lot of speculation about whether Lionel Messi will be in this competition. The reality is that it is difficult for the Argentine not to be present because he already lives at the headquarters of this competition and there is less than a year until the tournament is played.
