The Argetines are coming on a 36-match unbeaten streak, one shy of tying Italy’s record in international men’s soccer, set from 2018-21. Argentina has not lost since falling to Brazil 2-0 in the 2019 Copa América.
Argentina first won the World Cup in 1978, and then again in 1986 — one year before Messi was born. The team reached the final in 2014 and lost to Germany, and in a bitter follow-up four years later was eliminated in the round of 16 in Russia.
Holders France, Poland and Denmark will also be in action on Tuesday.
