Lionel Messi completed his final training session with Argentina on Monday ahead of his farewell match for the national team.
Messi, who joined the squad on Sunday, trained under coach Lionel Scaloni and was seen laughing and joking with Rodrigo De Paul. The 39-year-old Rosario star had earlier announced his decision to end his historic Argentina career.
Argentina will face Benin at the Monumental Stadium on Tuesday in what is expected to be an emotional farewell for Messi. Several members of the 2022 World Cup-winning squad are also expected to attend the occasion.
Former Argentina teammate Ezequiel Lavezzi and Inter Miami coach Cristian Gonzalez were also present at the training session as special guests.
