Finalissima could be Lionel Messi’s 200th match with Argentina national team

The Finalissima could be Lionel Messi’s 200th match with the Argentina national team.

Lionel Messi has played 192 matches in an illustrious career with the Argentina national team, spanning 20 years. Lionel Scaloni’s team have seven matches remaining in 2025 and should Messi take part in all of them, that would bring him to 199 matches with Argentina.

Next year’s Finalissima against Spain is expected to take place in March, which would be Argentina’s first match of the new year. Should he take part in that match and in every match before, that would bring the World Cup winner to 200 matches with Argentina.
