Argentina plays the second of three friendlies over the current international period when hosting Burkina Faso in Buenos Aires this Saturday.
La Albiceleste took to the field for the first time since losing the World Cup final earlier in the week, thrashing Bolivia 4–0 in the first outing since Lionel Messi announced his international retirement. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will play his final Argentina match against Benin next Tuesday, but won’t be involved in the upcoming clash with Burkina Faso.
