How to watch Brazil vs Argentina?

21/11/2023, 11:39 p.m.

Argentina beat Brazil 0-1 in a classic of the South American qualifiers that the press demonstrated as Lionel Messi’s farewell to the Maracaná, at least in official matches and in case he is not called up for a friendly

This is the stage in which he had his greatest sadness and one of his greatest joys.

Messi, the main star of an Argentina that confirmed itself as leader of the classification and that plunged Brazil into a crisis, since the Canarinha had never lost three games in a row in a qualifying round and not even as a host.

Number ten was dismissed with applause.

In the legendary stadium of Rio de Janeiro, Messi lived the saddest moment of his career, due to the defeat against Germany in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

But seven years later, on the same stage, he celebrated the 2021 Copa América title, his first trophy with the Argentine team.

Messi’s story on Brazilian soil began 15 years ago, in 2008, when, at the age of 20, he played for Mineirao in Belo Horizonte in a qualifier for the 2010 World Cup in which Argentina tied 0-0 and from which the then promise of the Spanish Barcelona came out as a figure.

Today the Brazilian public applauded him when Argentina’s lineup was announced over the loudspeakers. His teammates were booed.

The Brazilian press considers that this was the Maracaná's farewell, at least in official matches since he is 36 years old. And he would have to be active at 40 and in good shape to be called up for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers.

Preview

The Albiceleste, with their pride wounded after losing 2-0 to Uruguay last Thursday in the Bombonera, a historic defeat, will be looking to overcome the setback with a win that would also be unprecedented on their visit to Brazil, who have never lost a World Cup qualifier at home, let alone at the Maracana.

Brazil, for their part, need to shake off two consecutive defeats against Uruguay (2-0) and Colombia (2-1), something historic in World Cup qualifying, and are desperate for a win as they could end the year outside the World Cup qualification zone.
