Argentina beat Brazil 0-1 in a classic of the Udamerican Qualifiers that the press considered as Lionel Messi’s farewell to the Maracaná, at least in official matches and in case he is not called up for a friendly. This is the stage in which he had his greatest sadness and one of his greatest joys. Messi, the main star of an Argentina that confirmed itself as leader of the classification and that plunged Brazil into a crisis, since the Canarinha had never lost three games in a row in a qualifying round and not even as a host.
