AC Bellinzona Overview

Argentina may have secured a victory in their latest international outing, but the mood in the camp is anything but celebratory. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has launched a scathing assessment of the national team following their underwhelming 2-1 victory over Mauritania. The World Cup winner was left fuming with the lack of intensity shown by Lionel Scaloni’s side against the African minnows.

Lionel Messi remains the biggest attraction in world football, as evidenced by the chaotic scenes following Argentina's latest friendly outing against Mauritania. Despite the competitive nature of the match, the full-time whistle sparked a dash from the opposition to secure a permanent memory with the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Lionel Scaloni has indicated that Lionel Messi has still not confirmed he will lead Argentina at the 2026 World Cup. The national team boss was quick to deflect pressure away from the Inter Miami superstar, reiterating that the decision rests entirely with the player himself.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has surprised fans by debuting a radical new hairstyle while on international duty with Argentina. The World Cup winner, who is currently in Buenos Aires with the national team, took to social media to reveal a nearly completely shaved head.
