Playing Style
Operates from the right half-space as a free-roaming creator, dropping deep to start moves and ghosting into the box to finish them. Left foot does everything — the shot, the through-ball, the set-piece.
World Cup 2026
Returns to defend the 2022 title at 38, almost certainly his fifth and final tournament. The narrative is closure, not coronation — but Argentina is built around him until he says otherwise.
