With the focus set on the 2028 Copa America, Argentina FA president casted doubts on the future of Lionel Messi in the national team: "It's his decision." Lionel Messi once again served as Argentina‘s undisputed leader on soccer’s biggest stage during the 2026 World Cup, but questions surrounding his future involvement with the national team remain unresolved. With the 2028 Copa América looming as the next major international tournament, Argentina Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia left the decision entirely up to the star forward, stating, “It’s his decision.” In an interview with TyC Sports, Tapia was asked about Messi’s future with the Albiceleste following another memorable World Cup run, delivering a candid response: “It is purely and personal to him, we have to leave him in peace. It was a great World Cup by Leo, we enjoyed it a lot. We have to feel proud, and I enjoyed every moment I could because I saw him on the pitch. Without a doubt, he was the flag bearer of the group in this World Cup, just as he was in every competition where he led this group.” Tapia went on to highlight Messi’s extraordinary track record since Lionel Scaloni assumed control of the bench. “Out of 5 finals, he won 4, and out of 103 matches, 76 won, 19 drawn, 8 lost. If you count from World Cup to World Cup, from 2022 to 2026, we lost two matches: the first one in Qatar against Saudi Arabia, and the last one against Spain. If you sit down and analyze the World Cup he had, for me, the best player in the World Cup final was him. And he was breaking records match after match,” he added. Since Scaloni’s managerial debut against Guatemala in 2018, Argentina has netted 190 total goals, with Messi directly involved in 79 of them, racking up 60 goals and 26 assists to remain the focal point of this golden era. Lautaro Martinez trails him with 40 goals, while Julian Alvarez sits third with 15, emphasizing how vital the Inter Miami superstar remains to his country.

(Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) Looking ahead, the team’s primary focus shifts toward the 2028 Copa America, the next major competition on Argentina’s calendar. While Messi will still be under contract with Inter Miami through December of that year, the fact that he will turn 41 during the tournament casts uncertainty over his participation, let alone his availability for the 2030 World Cup. “It is his decision, pure and exclusive to him. He has to feel the desire like he felt (before)… In 2022, you didn’t know if he was going to be here in 2026. He said ‘this is match by match,’ and I think we saw a great version, if not the best version of Leo in this World Cup. I believe we have to leave him in peace, let him keep enjoying what he likes, which is playing football, and let us also keep enjoying, and let him make the decision he believes is right,” Tapia concluded. Comparing Messi’s timeline to Di Maria’s send-off Angel Di Maria established himself as arguably the second most influential player of the Scaloni era, delivering iconic goals in major finals before closing out his international career after the 2024 Copa America. While Messi has yet to announce a final decision, Tapia emphasized that the captain will evaluate his own physical state rather than rushing into retirement. Reflecting on the fitness of Di Maria, who currently plays for Rosario Central, Tapia noted. “Fideo scored important goals, and I saw him play in the local tournament, and he was easily fit to play (in the World Cup). I don’t get into the decisions of the coaching staff, but he also made clear that he was retired from the national team. So one has to be respectful of everything. He felt he was fulfilled.“ When asked whether Messi still possesses that unquenchable drive to keep competing for Argentina, Tapia referenced a shared moment between the two. “I was talking with him about that in a series, about never gi

Christos Tzolis showed Arsenal fans a glimpse of what may be to come as he scored on his debut in their pre-season win over Girona. Signed to replace Leandro Trossard after his transfer to Besiktas, the Greece international made the switch to north London in a £34m transfer from Belgian side Club Brugge. Martinez climbed highest from a Girona corner to halve the deficit four minutes after the half-time break, before Max Dowman reinstated Arsenal's two-goal lead three minutes later.
While Spain celebrated a dramatic victory over Argentina, a brief exchange between two Barcelona-linked stars captured the attention of supporters around the world and quickly became one of the defining images of the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup final delivered one of the most memorable moments in football history, and it involved both Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal long after the final whistle had blown. While Spain celebrated a dramatic victory over Argentina, a brief exchange between two Barcelona-linked stars captured the attention of supporters around the world and quickly became one of the defining images of the tournament. The final itself represented more than a battle between two national teams. It was also seen as a symbolic meeting between generations, with Messi, widely regarded as one of football’s greatest players, sharing the stage with Yamal, the teenage sensation many believe could shape the sport’s future for years to come. Spain secured its second FIFA World Cup title by defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time at New York New Jersey Stadium. The victory ended Argentina’s hopes of becoming back-to-back world champions and denied Messi what could have been the perfect ending to his World Cup journey. The match was fiercely contested and remained scoreless throughout regulation time. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez produced a series of outstanding saves to keep his team alive before Ferran Torres eventually found the breakthrough in extra time. When the final whistle arrived, emotions spilled over across the pitch. Some players became involved in heated confrontations, while others shared moments of respect and admiration with their opponents. Among those scenes, one interaction stood above the rest. Messi and Yamal share special moment As Argentina processed the disappointment of defeat, cameras captured Messi embracing Yamal on the field. The Argentine legend appeared to speak directly to the young Spaniard before the pair exchanged a heartfelt hug. At first, nobody knew exactly what had been said between them. The brief conversation immediately sparked curiosity because of the significance of the occasion and the status of the two players involved. A few days later, Yamal finally revealed the content of the exchange. The message that meant everything According to Yamal, Messi offered encouragement rather than dwelling on his own disappointment. “He told me to keep going my way and that the future belongs to our generation.” The Barcelona star admitted the words carried enormous emotional weight. “Those words mean as much to me as the gold medal around my neck.” For a teenager who had just become a world champion, that statement highlighted the importance of receiving recognition from a player he has admired throughout his life. Yamal also made it clear how highly he regards the Argentine icon. “He’s someone I’ve always admired. At the end of the match, I showed him my respect.”
The audience of the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina drew better numbers than in the past for the country. The most anticipated match of the 2026 World Cup was the final, which Spain won over Argentina, with an audience that matched expectations. With the English-language audience just released by FOX, it became clear that the final was the most-watched match of the competition with a record 61.5 million viewers. This number was divided between 38.9 million viewers who watched the English-language broadcast with a peak of 51.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched match ever in the country, and 22.6 million viewers who watched the Spanish-language broadcast on Telemundo and Peacock. Audience in other countries The biggest match in soccer once again attracted massive audiences around the world. In Spain, it became the most-watched match in the country’s history, even surpassing the final in 2010, with an average audience of 15.7 million viewers according to Barlovento Comunicación. Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal against England (Elsa/Getty Images) In the United Kingdom, the final was watched by 19.2 million viewers. With England no longer in the tournament, it could not surpass the semifinal against Argentina, which drew 24 million viewers. Italy once again proved they are still a soccer nation even after missing the last three editions, recording an average audience of 12.5 million viewers. The matchup may also have been influenced by many fans hoping Spain would win, as an Argentina victory would have tied Italy’s four titles. Audience in Canada It is clear the sport still has room to grow in Canada, even after the national team’s best-ever World Cup campaign. Canada won its first World Cup match and then its first knockout match against South Africa before losing to Morocco in the Round of 16. Despite that run, the final averaged 6.4 million viewers.
