After Argentina secured their spot in the 2026 World Cup, CONMEBOL released the disciplinary report for the match, confirming that a player will serve a one-match suspension after a referee's mistake.

After Argentina secured a spot in next year’s competition, the main question now is whether the 37-year-old star will play in his sixth tournament and try to win back-to-back championships.

Argentina defeated two South America heavyweights- Uruguay and Brazil in back to back matches without Lionel Messi. Despite this, the Argentine players are hopeful for the 8 time Ballon D'Or winners return. Striker Julian Alvarez following the win over Brazil stated that with Messi that would have scored two or three goals more.
