by time news

BarcelonaThree months have passed since Leo Messi lifted the World Cup until the next game of the Argentine national team. Too little for the fans albicelestes they have forgotten their idols. Quite the opposite. The expectation to see them play again against Panama has been great and the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires has remained small: the 83,000 seats were sold out in an hour and a half. The Argentinian national team did not disappoint their fans and gave them a 2-0 victory with Messi’s goal included, number 800 of his career and 99 as an international.

It was assumed that there would be a lot of interest in getting a ticket and they ended up receiving up to 1.6 million requests for places ranging from 30 to 250 euros. The demand led to the immediate exit of the resellers, which posed an added organizational challenge for the party. In fact, the police had evidence that fake tickets were circulating and therefore organized three levels of security to access the River Plate stadium.

Messi arrived in Argentina on a private plane and amidst strong security measures in a country where football allowed people to forget, even if it was for a few weeks, the serious economic and social crisis that is suffering. The striker, ex-Blaugrana and now at PSG, was the center of attention and the most acclaimed man of the match.

Argentina was able to crown the round number of goals for its captain and became the first world champion of the century who manages to debut his title with a victory. Thiago Almada’s goals, in the 77th minute, and Messi’s, from a free kick in the 87th, served to prevail over Panama, who played the match without their main figures. The match, however, became a new celebration of the World Cup of thealbiceleste.

Another match against Curaçao

This morning, Catalan time, the images of December in Buenos Aires were repeated again with floods of fans in the street, awaiting the match of their national team. Two days after the victory over France in the final in that crazy match that was decided by penalty shootout, the expedition traveled through the streets of Buenos Aires, but was stuck on the Avenida 9 de Julio because of the crowding of people In the end, the players and the coaching staff had to be evacuated by helicopter.

The selection albiceleste will play a second friendly in this stoppage of selections and again will do so with a capital call success. The federation (AFA) reported this Thursday that the tickets for the second game, which takes place in Santiago del Estero against Curaçao, were sold out in just one hour.
