This will be the first official test for the reigning world champions since tasting the ultimate glory in December. Lionel Scaloni called up most of the players that went to Qatar, though he already started to call up new faces with his sights set in 2026.
Since the next World Cup will expand to 48 teams, Argentina and company should have no problem to qualify. However, Messi and company need to start strongly against a promising opponent like La Tri.
