When and Where the Legend Says Goodbye
This international friendly is going down at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. Kickoff is set for Tuesday, October 6, at 8 p.m. local time. If you’re on the West Coast, that means you’ll be tuning in at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Central folks, you’re at 6:00 p.m., and on the East Coast, it’s 7:00 p.m. We’ve already seen Argentina dominate in this international break, absolutely routing Bolivia 4-0 on September 30, then smashing Burkina Faso 7-0 on October 3. Now, it all culminates with Messi’s final, epic appearance.
So clear your Tuesday night schedule, because this is it. We’re talking about the greatest player ever to touch a soccer ball, making his last international run.
