Lionel Messi has reached the pinnacle of football and achieved almost everything possible. One task pending will be in reach on Tuesday when Argentina visit Brazil in a South American FIFA World Cup qualifying match. The 36-year-old Messi has scored 31 goals for Argentina in World Cup qualifying encounters, but none of those have come against Brazil, home or away. He has five goals against the arch-rivals, all in friendly matches. Brazil’s football federation said all 69,000 tickets for the clash at the Maracana Stadium have been sold out. Both teams will play after defeats in the previous round; the locals lost 2-1 at Colombia and the World Cup champions were defeated at home 2-0 by Uruguay. Maracana Stadium is the same venue where Messi lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and beat the host in the decider of the 2021 Copa America. Argentina lead the 10-team South American qualifying group with 12 points from five matches. Uruguay is second with 10 points. Colombia has nine and Venezuela eight. Brazi, in fifth position, have seven points. Angel di Maria, Nicolas Gonzalez and Leandro Paredes are in contention for a place in the midfield and Lautaro Martinez, who hasn’t scored in 14 games, could replace Julian Álvarez up front. Brazil’s Carlos Augusto is likely to start as left-back for the first time, Jesus will take the role of injured Vinicius Jr. up front and teenage sensation Endrick is likely to play in the second half.
