Lionel Messi bids Argentina adieu with goal and two assists in 3-0 win over Benin – as it happened
The 2022 World Cup champion was given a raucous sendoff with plenty of pomp and circumstance. Read Pablo Iglesias Maurer's minute-by-minute report. Guardian reader Paul reached out via email and is apparently deep in the comments section of a 20-year-old Messi article we published here at the Guardian.

That said, Alex Freeman will likely advance further up the right, and Trusty could deputize as a wide center-back in build-up phases.Mathis Albert may not yet be a regular with Dortmund's B-team, much less the senior side, but his dynamism throughout this camp earned him a surprise start over the more polished and proven Zavier Gozo. A fascinating chance to get a long look at another star of the program's future. Continue reading...
