Lionel Messi announced earlier this week that he is retiring from the Argentina national team.
And now he will be celebrated.
The Argentina Football Association announced that all matches in Argentina this weekend will be paused in the 10th minute and then everyone will applaud for a minute.
The reason it’s in the 10th minute is because Messi wore number 10 on his shirt in the national team.
Messi won a World Cup title, two Copa America titles and an Olympic gold medal with Argentina, playing in a total of 10 finals for his country.
He scored 125 goals and provided 68 assists in 207 international appearances.
