On social media, fans shared the moment Lionel Messi cried while warming up before the match. Although Argentina had already qualified for the World Cup, the match at the Monumental Stadium still attracted attention because this was likely the last time Messi played at home in front of fans.

After the match against Venezuela, Argentina only have two more matches until the World Cup in the US, which is a trip to Ecuador in the final round of the South American qualifiers on September 5, followed by the Finalissima match against Spain on a neutral field on March 8, 2026. Media and fans believe that the 2026 World Cup will also be Messi's last international tournament.

To pay tribute to Messi’s contributions, Argentine fans filled more than 81,000 seats at the Monumental Stadium, carrying large banners with Messi’s image. The chants of the 1987-born superstar’s name also rang out continuously as the Argentine team warmed up.

In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America, Argentina had a convincing performance with a leading position and a gap of 10 points compared to the second-placed team. Since 1974, the "Tango Dancers" have never been absent from the world football festival.
