Lionel Messi, 39, has flown into Argentina to play his farewell match for the national team. The captain arrived in Buenos Aires ahead of an emotional occasion that will bring the curtain down on his international career in front of his home crowd. Thousands of supporters greeted the iconic forward at the airport, Sky Sports reported, as an entire era of international football draws to a close.
His international legacy stands alone. With Argentina, Messi lifted the World Cup and two Copa América titles. The nation's all-time leading scorer will now bow out of international football as a world champion.
