Argentina U23 led by Javier Mascherano beat the Brazilian Espoirs (1-0) on Sunday and qualified for the football tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Lionel Messi could be part of the adventure!

World champion in 2022, after winning the Copa América the year before, the legendary captain Lionel Messi can offer a new coronation to Argentina. The record holder for Ballon d’Or (8) could participate in the men’s football tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games next summer (from July 24 to August 10, in seven stadiums in France). That would be amazing!

Before the South American Olympic qualifying tournament organized in Venezuela, the Argentine press affirmed that Messi, already a gold medalist in 2008 in Beijing, was ready to be one of the three players over 23 who could call up his friend Javier Mascherano , at the head of the Abiceleste U23. The Argentine people are now awaiting the decision of “La Pulga”.

Messi released by Inter Miami?

The Argentinian Hopes were playing a final decisive match against Brazil and were obliged to win to secure one of the two seeds for Paris 2024. This is the case. Endrick, the future Real Madrid striker, failed to score for the Aurivedes, and it was Luciano Gondou, of the Argentinos Juniors, who scored the goal of the Argentine qualification (78th). And the Brazilian elimination!

Messi, who is currently preparing for the new MLS season with Inter Miami, will already play the 2024 Copa América from June 20 to July 14. The competition is organized in the United States, but the North American championship will not stop. On the other hand, the MLS will have a three-week break during the Paris Olympics, while Team USA will play the men’s and women’s tournaments.
