As we enter 2020, the Mundo Albiceleste Argentina database is up to date for the last year.
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni used 45 players in 2019 and we have the full list with player profiles. I personally have been working on the database for over 10 years and we have over 200 player profiles. From current to previous players, from goals scored at youth level to senior level.
If you look at Lionel Messi‘s profile, you will see he has scored a goal for Argentina in 14 straight years. For Sergio Aguero, it’s 13 years.
We have all the Argentina goals scored from Abel Balbo to Gabriel Batistuta to Javier Saviola. As for another Javier, this time Javier Zanetti, we have a full list of all his Argentina matches and goals scored. The database is constantly being updated, make sure to give us a look!

A big happy new year to everyone!
I’d like to take a moment to wish you all a happy new year and to thank you all. May the new year bring us all health, happiness, love, money and everything we desire. I want to thank everyone for help making Mundo Albiceleste what it is today. This website, this Mundo Albiceleste family would not exist without every single one of you.
As we ring in the new year, let’s remember to always show love and respect one another. The world is difficult enough as it, let’s make it a little less difficult.
For Argentina, it was a year which started off in a less than stellar way but finished in what a very good fashion. Despite not winning the Copa America in 2019, the new year will give the team a new opportunity to lift the Copa America.
Here’s to old memories, new memories, old matches, new matches, old goals, new goals and the ultimate prize for Argentina which is the Copa America. Happy new year!
