Ahead of the 2026 World Cup title-holding mission, Argentina are warming up. They are still at the top of the qualifying points list. The last match of the year will be against Peru tomorrow. Lionel Messi's condition is as if sleep is forbidden.
Argentina-Peru World Cup Qualifier match will start tomorrow at 6 o'clock Bangladesh time. This match will be Argentina's home ground at La Bombanera. That's why Messi is more eager. Moreover, 'the last is good for him, all is good for him' – he may believe this sentence wholeheartedly. That Messi is desperate to end 2024 with a win is evident from his social media posts. Yesterday midnight, he posted a picture of the exercise on his Instagram handle. In the caption, the Argentine world-winning footballer wrote, 'Looking forward to being together with everyone tomorrow for the final match of another memorable year.'
The year 2024 is bittersweet for Messi. He won the Copa America on July 15 this year. Which is the second Copa title for him. Argentina also won a record 16th Copa America title. He scored a hat trick in the qualifying match against Bolivia. He also won the Supporters' Shield award for Inter Miami.
He is in danger on the day of winning the Copa America. He had to drop out in the middle of the match due to an ankle injury. Football fans can't forget that picture of Argentina's world-winning footballer crying like a stupid child. After that, he had to take a 2-month break from field football. He came back and started showing glimpses. Miami entered the playoffs with the most points in a Major League Soccer (MLS) event. However, Miami could not reach the semis after losing the three-match series 2-1 to Atlanta United.
