This match will be Lionel Messi’s second last game of 2024.

Argentina’s national team will travel to Paraguay for their next 2026 World Cup qualifier. Paraguay has impressed so far in the qualifiers, securing a draw against Uruguay and even clinching a win over Brazil. Currently ranked sixth, *La Albirroja* are emerging as strong contender to qualify for the 2026 World Cup—a feat that would mark their first appearance since 2010.

Argentina, meanwhile, sits at the top of the CONMEBOL qualifier standings. The reigning world champions continue to dominate in South America, amassing 22 points from 10 matches with seven wins, two losses, and one draw. Under Coach Lionel Scaloni’s leadership, Argentina has thrived with a flexible tactical approach that has proven highly effective.

In a move to create a more supportive atmosphere for the home team, the Paraguayan Football Federation has banned Lionel Messi-related merchandise from the stadium. This decision has stirred mixed reactions among fans, adding off-field drama to an already exciting matchup.

Head coach Gustavo Alfaro will be counting on him to make a significant impact for Paraguay in their upcoming games.

Lionel Messi (Argentina)

After Inter Miami's early exit from the MLS playoffs, Lionel Messi has just two matches remaining in 2024. In his last appearance as Argentina's captain, he scored a hat-trick against Bolivia, and he'll be eager to close out a successful year on a high note.

Currently leading as the top scorer in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Messi is determined to stay at the top of the scoring charts as he leads Argentina into the final stretch of the year.
