AS Roma have taken the controversial decision to block Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina from travelling to Argentina to attend Lionel Messi’s international farewell. Despite the magnitude of the event in Buenos Aires, the Giallorossi have prioritised their domestic commitments over the emotional celebration of the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.
The Argentine Football Association has announced a poignant tribute to Lionel Messi by leaving his iconic No. 10 jersey vacant for their upcoming international fixtures. The legendary forward is set to pull on the famous shirt one last time in a specially arranged farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental this October.
