Argentina to Leave Lionel Messi’s Iconic No. 10 Shirt Vacant for November Friendlies
Argentina will not use Lionel Messi’s iconic No. 10 shirt during their upcoming international friendlies this November, following the legendary forward’s retirement from international football in September.
Head coach Lionel Scaloni has reportedly decided that no player will inherit the famous shirt for the upcoming fixtures, leaving the number vacant as Argentina prepare for life without their greatest-ever player.
Messi’s No. 10 shirt has become synonymous with Argentina’s football history, having worn the number throughout much of his international career while leading the national team to several major honours.
With a decision yet to be made on who will eventually take over the iconic number, Scaloni appears keen to give the shirt a special status rather than immediately handing it to another player.
The decision will undoubtedly attract attention from Argentina supporters, considering the legacy Messi leaves behind after years of unforgettable performances in the national colours.
For now, the legendary No. 10 will remain untouched during Argentina’s November friendlies as the national team continues its transition into a new era without its iconic captain.
