Lionel Messi Last Match Song (Football Music)
A reggaeton anthem for Lionel Messi's last match for Argentina: a 3-0 win over Benin at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires on 6 October 2026, his 208th cap. Eighty-five thousand fans stood to applaud him when play paused in the 10th minute, and he set up goals for Nicolás Otamendi and Nico Paz before scoring a left-footed penalty, his 126th and final goal for his country. The song opens with a spoken goodbye, looks back at the extra-time World Cup final loss to Spain in New Jersey, then turns at the halfway mark into the night itself: the assists, the last goal, the lap with his three sons, and the giant shirt his hometown of Rosario laid out at the National Flag Monument.
