Lionel Messi is poised to make history at the 2024 Copa América. The Argentine maestro will be donning the legendary No. 10 jersey for his nation for a remarkable 10th time in a major tournament.
This milestone appearance signifies Messi’s enduring presence as the captain and creative heart of Argentina. Since his debut in the 2010 World Cup with the No. 10, he’s worn it in four subsequent World Cups and, with the upcoming Copa América, will have donned it a total of six times at the continental championship.
Messi’s association with the No. 10 transcends mere jersey numbers. It embodies his leadership, playmaking skills, and goalscoring prowess – attributes that have made him a global icon. This 10th appearance adds another layer to his already legendary story with the Argentina national team.
