Buenos Aires, Argentina - September 5, 2024. Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul (7) fights for the ball against Marcelino Nuñez (7) during the match between Argentina and Chile. The Argentine National Team returns to the South American Qualifiers facing Chile at the Monumental Stadium, for the seventh day on the way to the 2026 World Cup. It will be the first match for Lionel Scaloni's team in front of its home crowd after becoming two-time continental champion by winning the 2024 Copa América, a title that marked the retirement of Ángel Di María from the national team. Lionel Messi will not be present, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered in the final against Colombia. PHOTO / Photo UNAR.
