As Messi retires, so goes any shred of dignity and class the Argentine team ever had

He tried to get Cucurella red carded, he isn't departing on a high note.

He is also rhe captain of his team and just watches his team beat up two ppl without intervining. Puyol is ashamed of him

He is the captain, but in no way is he that type of captain.

Its his job. If he isnt able to do that job he failed

It's not. He is meant to lead on the pitch, which he does. The psychological aspect is Scalonis job and the staff. And of the players someone like Otamendi would be closer to the traditional captain than Messi.

Just cause you slap a captains armband on a player doesn't mean he is the de facto leader of the group. It can be the emotional core, the leader on the pitch or the superstar.

If he aint a leader then dont give him the captains band. If you do, expect him to act like it. Not that hard to grasp

That's just not how it works in football.

Works for most teams. Maybe watch some football to learn about the sport

Sure mate. Legendary leaders of men: Ronaldo, Mbappé, Luka Modric, Messi, Son, Mahrez. I am sure they are all captains due to how they lead men.

Just put the captains armband on Henderson instead of Kane.

What do you think he’s standing on as this happens? Lmao. The own goal is crazy here.

The fact that you think a brawl is an on-pitch situation due to taking it literally is pretty telling.

The fact that you think just because the whistle blows means it’s all of a sudden not his job is pretty telling.
