After Messi played his final match for the national team, Atletico Madrid's official social media released a photo of Messi passing the captain's armband to Cristian Romero, congratulating Messi on his international career.

Atletico Madrid's official social media wrote: "Cuti (Romero's nickname) takes over the Argentina captaincy. Congratulations to Messi on his career with the Argentina national team!"

In Argentina's 3-0 victory over Benin, Messi had a perfect farewell with one goal and two assists, while Romero started as center back and played for 79 minutes. With both Messi and Otamendi retiring from international football, Romero, as the third-choice captain, now becomes the new captain of the Albiceleste.
