2024 could be the cherry on the cake for the Argentina NT. As Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria sadly edge to the fag end of their careers, reports affirm their unsurprising desire to play in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Olympics will hold a special place for both, as it led them to win their first senior accolade in Beijing 2008 with Argentina.

The soccer games of the Olympics are expected to take place from July 24th to August 10th, 2024. Copa America 2024 will conclude on July 14, leaving little time to breathe, in case La Albiceleste reaches the finals. However, for the Olympics wish to come true, a few other things also need to go Lionel Messi’s way to make it.

Messi-Di Maria partnership is rumored to live on for an extra month!

Even though both players are vibrant and ever-ready to represent their country, it will take the Argentine U23 team to qualify for the main tournament from the pre-Olympics stage. According to DSports, the AFA is already making plans to arrange for logistics in case the qualification is fruitful. South American teams will head to the qualifiers today. With only two places up for grabs, Argentina gears up with its U23 squad under veteran Javier Mascherano.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi and Di Maria, despite winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 2021 Copa America, and the 2022 Finalissima, want to revisit where it all started. Both had a successful time in 2008, where they scored two goals each. Di Maria displayed his heroics by scoring the gold medal-winning goal against Nigeria in the final, leading Argentina to a 1-0 win. Nevertheless, the Olympics will be the last dance of both of them sharing the pitch.

Lionel Messi and Di Maria- A partnership to be remembered!

Lionel Messi’s international success has never been detached from Di Maria. The players’ journey started with the 2005 U20 World Cup, in which Lionel Messi scored twice in the finals. However, it was Di Maria who later went on to also become a crucial player in Argentina, scoring tournament-winning goals in 2008, 2021, and 2022 twice!

But Di Maria once announced that he will retire after the Copa America 2024. However, the latest report claims that it will stretch until the Olympics. Contrarily, nothing is certain about La Pulga’s future, as he has not made any public call yet. On the whole, this combination will be one of the most cherished in the history of Argentina.
