The 39-year-old's international career has been defined by his extraordinary achievements, including the Copa America titles in 2021 and 2024 and Argentina's World Cup victory.

With Inter Miami continuing its campaign, the Argentine icon will look to carry his form and experience into the next chapter of his career, even as fans reflect on the possibility of having witnessed his final appearance in Argentina's colours.
