Brazil forward Neymar has said he felt emotional as Lionel Messi played his final match for Argentina, describing the chance to be part of that history alongside him as an honour, প্রথম আলো reported on Tuesday.
The two players, long-time rivals at club and international level, were linked again as Messi closed out his Argentina career. Bangladesh's দ্য ডেইলি স্টার বাংলা reported that a starting eleven for Argentina had been set for the farewell fixture, while bdnews24.com quoted Messi saying the Argentina shirt had been his life.
The Daily Ittefaq carried coverage of how fans could watch Messi's last match, and দ্য ডেইলি স্টার বাংলা also examined the records he set in Argentina colours, describing some as close to impossible to break.
The scale of the coverage in Bangladesh reflects Messi's standing in a country where Argentina support runs deep, and it underlines how a single farewell has drawn attention well beyond South America. Neymar's tribute, as reported by প্রথম আলো, frames the occasion as a shared moment between two players whose careers overlapped for more than a decade.
What to watch next: whether Messi's Argentina records stand untouched, and how Argentina reshape their squad in his absence.
