The Albiceleste team plays a friendly this Tuesday against Curaçao
In a new commemorative friendly for the world champion title in 2022, Argentina faces the selection of Curaçao, this Tuesday, with an eye to a special sign that Lionel Messi can achieve. He has 99 goals for the team. He wants to get to the penny soon and, in his country, go back to making history.
The match will be played in the city of Santiago del Estero, 1,048 kilometers from Buenos Aires, and if it depends on the opponent, the task shouldn’t be that complicated. Curaçao have no football tradition, are 86th in the FIFA rankings, and will most likely go home with a very nasty beating in their luggage.
Messi made his debut in 2005 for the Argentina national team. In 2016, he became the Albiceleste’s top scorer when he scored a goal in a friendly match against the United States in Houston, breaking the record that belonged to Gabriel Batistuta, then with 54 goals.
In Argentina’s 2-0 win over Panama last week, Messi celebrated his 800th career goal. He now he is looking for another personal conquest.
