After the 2024 Copa America, Lionel Messi was injured and has yet to return to the field.
For this reason, in the Argentina-Chile match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Paulo Dybala wore the number 10 Albi Celeste, which has been worn by Messi for many years. In response to this, he said:
I know it's not my shirt and we all know that number 10 belongs to Leo. I tried to play in the best possible way for my country's national team. Some people in the national team said that I should wear this shirt, but I wasn't sure and had doubts, but it was a great responsibility for me.
