Double winner of the competition in 2015 and 2016 against Léo Messi's Argentina, Chile had created a sort of great rivalry with the Albiceleste and there is no doubt that it will try to thwart the plans of the reigning world champion. tonight. The Chileans started their competition in "X" way against Peru to follow while they won their only preparation match against Paraguay, and in good fashion 3-0. In March, we will not forget to mention their good performance against the Blues in Marseille, 3-2 defeat, following on from their beautiful victory full of panache against Albania 0-3. Let's talk a little about the start of the qualifying campaign for the next World Cup and suffice to say that Alexis Sanchez's teammates are a step behind the competition having won only one of their six matches, when receiving the Peru is precisely 2-0 and only occupy a very sad 8th place, which in its current state would not allow them to participate in the World Cup. Opposite us, we find the number one in the FIFA rankings, Argentina.

Reigning world champion and this Copa America, the Albiceleste will have tried to start their competition on the right foot against Canada in the opening to follow. An important match for Messi's teammates who won their four friendly matches in 2024 against the very crumbly selection of El Salvador 3-0, against Costa Rica 3-1, on the smallest score against Ecuador 1-0 and in demonstration against Guatemala 1-4. Casually, it's very rare to see the Argentinian concoct draws since she has never achieved one since a certain Ecuador - Argentina dating from March 30, 2022 as part of the World Cup qualifiers in Qatar 1-1 . Since then, the Argentines have only lost two TCC matches, against Saudi Arabia in the opening of their World Cup won 1-2 and a loss at home against Uruguay last November 0-2. To stay with these qualifiers, the three-time world champion has won five of her six matches played and she occupies 1st place ahead of Uruguay.

Regularly on the flank with Celta Vigo throughout the season, Tapia (85 caps) was ultimately not called up in the coach's final list) in the same way as Yotun (injured) and Trauco (choice). We still find extremely experienced players in the selection like Gallese (Orlando City, 106 sel, starting goalkeeper), defenders Advincula (Boca Juniors, 118 sel), Callens (AEK Athens), Lopez (Feyenoord), Abram (Atlanta United) and Toulouse Suazo, midfielders Cueva (98 sel, 16 goals), Pena (Malmö) and Castillo (Gil Vicente) without forgetting to mention the attackers Carrillo (Al-Qadsiah, 99 sel, 11 goals), Lapadula (Cagliari) and former Marseillais Alexis Sanchez (Inter Milan). The veteran Paolo Guerrero (119 sels, 39 goals) and Edison Flores (73 sels, 16 goals) are there as are Puma Rodriguez (Famalicao, Portuguese D1) or the goalkeeper Bravo who, at the age of 41, still plays a role predominant in the selection (148 selections). Called up in an extended list, Balerdi (OM) was ultimately not selected by Scaloni while Juan Fotth (Villarreal) and Dylaba (AS Roma) both present during the coronation in Qatar were not were not retained (injuries) like Medina (Lens, choice).

These are ultimately the main absentees from the group since for the rest, it is a great classic with obviously, the headliner of the selection, Lionel Messi (Inter Miami, 8 Ballon d'Or) and his henchmen De Paul (Atlético), Paredes (Roma), Di Maria (Benfica), Martinez (starting goalkeeper, Aston Villa), Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea), Mac Allister (Liverpool) without forgetting to mention defensive players like Lisandro Martinez (Man United ), Acuna (Sevilla FC), Pezzella (Real Bétis), Montiel (Nottingham Forrest) or even the Lyonnais Tagliafico (57 sel). Let's not forget to mention the probable future of this formation, Garnacho (United) but it is Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan) who should hold the tangent at the forefront.
