Lisandro Martinez has arrived in Buenos Aires determined to celebrate Lionel Messi's international farewell despite the lingering heartbreak of Argentina's World Cup final loss to Spain. The Manchester United defender urged his team-mates to look forward and embrace the home tribute at Estadio Monumental following a gruelling tournament campaign.
Four nations made debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan gracing the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It was the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and Cape Verde achieved the feat of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages, before succumbing to Lionel Messi's Argentina in a classic.
