Buenos Aires: Lionel Messi scored for Argentina in the farewell match of one of Argentina’s all-time greats, Juan Roman Riquelme. Eight years following he retired from active football, the farewell match was organized as per Riquelme’s wishes. The match was between Boca Juniors and Argentina national team. Riquelme’s team Boca Juniors won the match 5-3.

The fact that two legendary players reached the ground at the same time was more interesting to the fans than the result of the match. Another highlight was that Argentina coach Lionel Scoloni came out to hit the ball with Messi. Riquelme went to play wearing a jersey with Maradona’s name inside the Boca Juniors jersey.

Riquelme also celebrated his farewell by scoring for Boca Juniors in the game. Riquelme, one of Argentina’s greatest playmakers of all time, did not play for Argentina during Messi’s heyday. Fans will never forget the match between Argentina and Germany in the 2006 World Cup football quarter-finals. With Argentina leading 2-1 in the 70th minute of the match, coach Jose Pekerman pulled Riquelme off the field. Soon Germany found the equalizer. Argentina fans still believe that Pekermann’s decision to withdraw Riquelme was the reason for Argentina’s defeat when Germany won 4-2 in the shootout. Because that was the extent of Riquelme’s influence on the Argentina team.

They believe that if Riquelme, one of the world’s most imaginative playmakers, and Messi, one of the world’s best footballers, had played together, Argentina would have won the La Liga Cup. Be that as it may, nearing the end of their careers, the fact that Messi and Riquelme were able to get on the field together, whether it was in the opposing team or in the opposing team, filled the hearts of the fans.
