Unexpected details emerge! Messi's last match for Argentina is shrouded in controversy

Lionel Messi's farewell match for the Argentina national team is becoming increasingly embroiled in controversy. In just a few days, the legendary forward will take to the Monumental pitch for the final time in an Albiceleste shirt, but serious questions have emerged over the organization of the clash with Benin, reports Goal.

Amid huge interest in the match, the African side has complained about its travel and accommodation arrangements. The story began with the previous friendly. Burkina Faso's players refused to fly to Buenos Aires on the economy-class commercial flight arranged by the Argentine side. As a result, an under-23 squad took the field instead of the senior team. The dissatisfaction stemmed from the travel conditions and the absence of an additional payment for taking part.

Benin has now raised similar complaints. According to media reports, the delegation spent around 23 hours in economy class, while team representatives encountered problems at the hotel, including a lack of hot water on one of the floors, a sauna that was out of order and inadequate facilities for strength training.
