80,000 witnesses the last dance at home in the World Cup! 38-year-old Messi s Golden Boots starts exposed

At 7:30 am on September 5, in the 17th round of the World Cup qualifiers, Argentina played against Venezuela at home. Argentina, which is qualified for the World Cup early, has no burden or pressure. Messi, 38, ushered in the home game of his World Cup qualifiers.

【Confrontation History】

The two teams have had 29 matches, with Argentina having an overwhelming advantage of 24 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. In the World Cup qualifiers last October, Argentina drew 1-1 away. Argentina lost to Venezuela twice, namely the World Cup qualifiers 0-1 away game in November 2011 and the home game in March 2019.

For Argentina, this World Cup qualifier is a "battle of honor". As early as half a year ago, Argentina locked in the World Cup qualification. With 11 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in 16 games, Argentina has already determined the No. 1 spot in South America in advance. Venezuela needs to score 3 points all to ensure 7th place (qualify for the Intercontinental Playoff).

38-year-old Messi is destined to be the greatest superstar in Argentina's football history. In his 20-year international career, Messi made 193 appearances and scored 112 goals, both of which are Argentina's historical records. Messi played in a total of 71 World Cup qualifiers, scored 34 goals, assisted 14 times, and received only 1 yellow card. In the rough South American arena, Messi's yellowing record is actually an alternative. The legend finally comes to an end. The battle with Venezuela is the finale of the home qualifiers in Argentina. For Messi, this will be his last dance at home in the World Cup. Messi admitted: "I don't know if there will be a home friendly match in the future, but this game will be very special, so I brought as many relatives as possible to the scene."

Because of Messi, Argentine fans are even more crazy. The game was held at the Monument Stadium in Buenos Aires, and more than 80,000 tickets have been sold out. Messi's last dance at the World Cup in front of his home, no one wants to miss it.
