despite it being ARGENTINA!!! - how many of the starting 11 they had out there today would get into Arsenal's first 11?
Messi, there's one. :rubchin:

Interesting - where would play Messi in our current formation. As one of the wide men or in Odegaard's position. I'm not even sure he would get in without a change in the way we play (bearing in mind the pressing part of the game). Big fan of Lautaro Martínez - close between him and Jesus. And Armani the reserve keeper might be a good fit, he's a fashionable choice and he might suit us :D
Perhaps I've just lost touch but I barely recognised a player in their first 11. Di Maria doesn't get in our team ahead of Saka or Martinelli or Odegaard. Martinez, as you said.
Not sure anyone other than Messi does. And this was the team most journos picked to win it. :shrug:
I fancied them to win - more on the results they have had recently (Copa America winners), and lack of any real outstanding team, then close attention to their squad. Might turn that Romero isn't the best centre half in the world as Spurs fans would have you believe. And Ramsdale is better than Martinez
Martinez 1st one and Messi one were both very tight, 2nd Martinez one was a good yard off.
