It’s been more than two months and the fever hasn’t gone down. Whether it is the best team in the history of Argentine sport remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that Lionel Messi and the Argentine national team are experiencing a moment of unprecedented popularity in our country.
Many remained wanting to greet the champions, despite the massive welcome the team received after winning the World Cup in Qatar 2022, after 36 years. And now some privileged will have the chance to see the team on the pitch, already with the third star on their shirt.
For this reason, the question everyone is asking is when Lionel Messi will travel to Argentina.
Let’s go in parts. A few days ago, in the preview of The Best awards that crowned the Argentine captain, Dibu Martínez and Lionel Scaloni as the best of the year 2022 (best player, goalkeeper and DT), Claudio Tapia confirmed that Argentina will face Panama on March 23 and Curaçao on the 28th.
The Más Monumental stadium has been confirmed for the first match. The brand new renovated River field will welcome the team with over 80 thousand people. And now it is known that the Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero will host the second. Given the demand for tickets, the idea of the organizers would be to remove some seats from the newspapers to extend the capacity to 50,000 spectators.
But before this appointment, the captain of the Selection must fulfill some commitments with Paris Saint-Germain. Leo has to play three matches for Ligue 1 and a very spicy challenge against Bayern Munich in Germany for the Champions League rematch.
On 14 February, PSG took the field with the Bavarian team. And now he’s going to visit him on Wednesday the 8th for the rematch. The matches of the French tournament? The team from the capital receives Rennes this Saturday at 17:00. Play in Germany on Wednesday and visit Brest on Saturday 11th. The last match will be on Sunday 19 March against Rennes at the Parc des Princes.
After that game, Leo will have his bags packed to board a plane that will take him to Buenos Aires for the March 23 game against Panama. There will be the long-awaited moment when around 83,000 people will applaud him at the Monumental Stadium.
