The final bow for Lionel Messi in an Argentina jersey. After 21 years, 125 goals, two Copa América titles and the World Cup triumph that cemented his place in Argentine soccer history, Messi takes the field for his final national team match. More than 85,000 tickets for the farewell against Benin sell out in just 90 minutes as fans pack Buenos Aires' Monumental stadium. Messi walks onto the field with his three sons as fireworks erupt, chants of "ME-SSI!" roll through the stands and a massive No. 10 jersey stretches across the pitch with one simple message: "Gracias."
