Argentina began a new chapter with a loss to Uruguay in their first game since Lionel Messi’s retirement.
A difficult start without Messi
The defeat gives Argentina an early setback following the end of Messi’s international career. The match was the team’s first since the long-serving forward stepped away, placing the result in a notable transition context.
Uruguay emerged as the winner, while Argentina were unable to mark the occasion with a victory. No further match details, including the score, were provided.
What the result means
The outcome makes Argentina’s opening fixture after Messi’s retirement a losing one. Beyond that result, the available information does not indicate how the team will respond in future matches or identify any wider changes to the squad.
For now, Uruguay’s victory stands as the defining result of Argentina’s first game of the post-Messi period.
