Valentín Barco has a lot of chances of starting for Argentina against Colombia.
Barco could be in the starting eleven for Argentina against Colombia on Tuesday. With Nicolás Tagliafico having received a yellow card for Argentina in the 1-0 win against Chile, he is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. According to DSports, Barco has a lot of chances of starting Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier.
The 20 year old has only played one match with the Argentina national team. His only game was in a 3-0 win against El Salvador last year.
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.
