Lionel Messi played his final international match for Argentina against Benin on October 6, a 4-0 victory where Nico Paz scored and assisted against Bolivia on October 1. Paz, part of the Argentina squad, witnessed Messi's farewell. However, Paulo Dybala, a fellow Argentine star, was denied authorization by his club, Roma, to travel to Argentina for the event. Roma cited sporting and logistical reasons, including the intercontinental journey and upcoming fixtures, for their decision, which also applied to Nahuel Molina. This sets up a contrasting encounter in Serie A's Round 6 between Paz's Como and Dybala's Roma. Dybala, a 2022 World Cup winner, will likely feel bitterness despite being rested, while Paz will carry the memory of a legendary moment into the match.
