(opens the publisher’s site)Conmebol president Alejandro Domínguez invited Lionel Messi to play in the Copa Libertadores after the forward's final match for Argentina.
- Messi played his final Argentina match Wednesday, a 3-0 win over Benin at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, with two assists and a penalty goal.
- Domínguez told Messi the only thing missing from his career is the Copa Libertadores and asked if he accepts the challenge; Messi did not reply.
- Messi ended his Argentina career with 208 appearances, 126 goals, and four titles including the 2022 World Cup; he is under contract with Inter Miami through 2028.
- Benin coach Gernot Rohr said Argentine players declined jersey swaps and photos with Messi after the 3-0 loss.
- Benin coach Gernot Rohr told Masrawy that security measures, not Argentine refusal, prevented shirt exchanges, and he obtained three Messi-signed shirts.
