Last update: an hour agoMessi Farewell in Buenos Aires: Lionel Messi closed his 21-year Argentina run with a 3-0 friendly win over Benin at the Monumental, scoring a penalty and setting up Nicolas Otamendi and Nico Paz in front of 85,000 fans. The match was paused in the 10th minute for a standing ovation tied to his shirt number, followed by fireworks and a drone show as Messi told supporters it “hurts” to leave but that playing for Argentina was “the most beautiful thing.” Stadium Tributes & Fan Backlash: The celebration included drone branding and a massive “Gracias” tribute, but some supporters also turned on AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia with chants like “you rat,” adding a sour note to the farewell. Deep-Sea Science: Separate from football, researchers reported 57 new marine species from Argentina’s deep-sea canyons, including a sea cucumber nicknamed “Loki.” Energy & Industry: Posco says it has completed a second lithium plant in Argentina, boosting capacity toward battery-material supply.
