Argentina set to make symbolic Lionel Messi gesture in first game since retirement

Argentina will not hand out Lionel Messi’s iconic No.10 shirt for the upcoming international break. La Albiceleste will begin the post- Messi era in November following his retirement from the national team . The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was given a monumental send-off in a 208th and final appearance in October. He scored 126 goals and won the World Cup in his illustrious international career. The 39-year-old scored in a 3-0 win over Benin in front of a packed out crowd in Buenos Aires.
