Argentina will have to fend off some European giants to retain their World Cup crown.

Aided by Messi's star-power, Argentina has hoisted nearly every major international trophy since its supernova's debut. Messi anchored the country's wins in the 2021 and 2024 Copa America tournaments, as well as the 2022 World Cup. He also claimed gold as a member of the country's U23 Olympic side in 2008, scoring two goals in six games.

Lionel Messi has aired his 2026 World Cup “hope”, with there still a chance that he will grace that competition, but has ruled himself out of a meeting with Spain and Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the next Finalissima.
