The only time the Argentine team and Canada met was 14 years ago, on May 24, 2010, in the run-up to the World Cup in South Africa. In that match, the team led by Diego Armando Maradona at that time was vastly superior and won decisively: it was 5 to 0 with a double from Maximiliano Rodríguez and scores from Di María, Sergio Agüero and Carlos Tevez. The starters – and they will repeat this Thursday – were Di María and Nicolás Otamendi. In that friendly Messi was preserved due to a muscle injury.

Then, in the middle of the field, The DT implicitly confirmed the presence of Leandro Paredes, who participated with him in the press conference prior to the match, as a central midfielder: “There’s a reason I have him next to me now,” he commented with a laugh. Finally, up front, Lionel Messi is a fixture; while Ángel Di María has an almost guaranteed place among the eleven. The 9? Until the last moment it will be a mystery, with Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez fighting for a place.
