> Lionel Messi is set to make his final appearance for Argentina on Tuesday, ending a journey that began when football authorities did not even know his name and grew into one of sport’s most enduring relationships. After announcing his international retirement earlier this month, the 39-year-old leaves with numerous honours, including leading Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title.
