Injured Inter Miami CF star Lionel Messi had to watch Argentina from home by himself during the March international break, but that did not stop the captain from unleashing a loaded message after his team's historic win over its major South American soccer rival.

Argentina may have qualified for the 2026 World Cup earlier in the day with Uruguay drawing with Bolivia, but that didn't mean that they were going to let up facing rivals Brazil in the Superclasico de las Americas,

During the break, Brazil sought to get some grip by boosting its presence in the midfield with Joao Gomes and the substitution of Murillo and striker Rodrygo. But it was to no avail, with Giuliano Simeone scoring for Argentina in the 71st minute.
