In Argentina, the next round's matches will stop at minute 10 in tribute to Lionel Messi, who announced the end of his career with the Argentine national team, known as the Albiceleste. This initiative aims to pay a tribute to the player considered a legend of Argentine football.
Messi decided to leave the Argentine national team after the defeat in the Copa América final against Brazil. The decision by the Inter Miami forward marked the end of an era for Argentine football, which thus loses one of its greatest symbols.
The stopping of matches at minute 10 is not a coincidence, being a reference to the number 10 shirt that Messi wore throughout his career with the Argentine national team. This form of tribute allows fans and players from across the country to show their respect for the Argentine star.
