Lionel Messi achieved one more goal in his dream career: his Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 this Tuesday at the Maracaná itself and broke the historic invincibility at home of the five-time world champions in the South American qualifying round.

The star, with a poor performance, and his teammates dealt a new blow in the legendary stadium of Rio de Janeiro, where the game was delayed for almost thirty minutes due to incidents between Argentine fans and the police in the stands.

In the scenario in which they lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, the Albiceleste captain threatened not to play and returned with his team to the locker room, but they finally returned to the field when tempers had already calmed down.

On that grass he had already defeated the Seleção in the final of the Copa América-2021, breaking 28 years without titles for the Argentines and opening space for the conquest of Qatar-2022.

At the age of 36, in what was perhaps his last visit to the football temple, where he was applauded when his name was heard on the speakers, he broke a mark guarded by blood and fire by Brazil: he had never lost at home in the World Cup qualifier, in which debuted in 1954.

“This group continues to achieve historic things. Although today was not the most important, it is something very nice,” said the ‘10′.

The victory, with a great headed goal from Nicolás Otamendi (63), has a taste of glory for the world champions, because in addition to breaking a milestone, it aggravated the crisis of the team led by Fernando Diniz, decimated by the absences of the injured Neymar, Vinícius Jr and captain Casemiro.
