Argentina beat Bolivia in a match played without Lionel Messi, according to Daily Bhorer Dak, which described the result as the start of a new chapter for the national team. The same report said Paz, wearing the No. 10 shirt, sent a message with his performance.
Daily Bhorer Dak framed the game as evidence that Argentina can still deliver when Messi is absent. The outlet's headline said the team "lit up" despite his absence and highlighted Paz's message as the new wearer of the No. 10.
Coverage of the match extended beyond the result. Prothom Alo reported that Argentina are in no rush to decide the long-term future of the No. 10 jersey, the number long associated with Messi. The Daily Star Bangla described the Bolivia match as the beginning of a new era without him.
Other outlets looked at the wider picture. Tsports carried comments from Alexis Mac Allister about Argentina's new outline, while bdnews24.com reported on an emotional night for Romero in Córdoba, the city where the match was played.
The reports together suggest Argentina's post-Messi transition is being treated as an ongoing process rather than a single result. Daily Bhorer Dak's account focused on Paz's response to wearing the shirt, while Prothom Alo's report indicated the squad are not being pushed into a quick decision about who owns the number going forward.
What to watch next is whether Argentina keep the same approach in their following fixtures and whether Paz retains the No. 10 role.
