Lionel Messi will rejoice with the Argentine supporters today, Thursday, when the squad plays its first encounter since winning the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last year, and more than 80,000 spectators will attend a friendly match between Panama at the Monumental Stadium in the Argentine capital.

While winning football's biggest trophy was seen by many as the perfect moment to end his illustrious international career, the 35-year-old Messi decided he had more to offer his country and Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said, "Leo (Messi) is fine. Until he says otherwise." "He will continue to come here and join the team. He is happy on the field with the national team."

The striker for Paris Saint-Germain has a chance to make it a memorable evening if he scores. He needs one goal to surpass 800 in his professional career, but Cristiano Ronaldo still leads with 828. If he scores two goals, Messi, the all-time leading scorer for Argentina, will reach 100 goals for his nation.
