Leverkusen defender Medina features for Argentina in Lionel Messi’s farewell game

Bayer Leverkusen defender Facundo Medina featured as a substitute in Lionel Messi's farewell international match, where Argentina secured a 3-0 victory over Benin in Buenos Aires. Medina came on to replace Nicolas Otamendi shortly after Argentina's opening goal in the second half of the friendly.

Messi concluded his international career with a standout performance, assisting goals for Otamendi and Nico Paz before scoring a penalty. Medina's Leverkusen teammate Ezequiel Fernandez missed out on the matchday squad, while Benin played without injured Augsburg forward Steve Mounie.
