After winning the 2021 Copa America and then the World Cup, Scaloni's side will travel to the United States later this month for the 2024 Copa America.

One of the things that stood out about Argentina in Qatar 18 months ago was the chemistry and harmony of the squad.
That has certainly not always been the case at past tournaments, with falling outs and disputes within squads not uncommon.
What was clear in Qatar was that Argentina's stars wanted to win the World Cup for Messi as much as they did themselves.

They are all clearly friends off the pitch, something shown by the fact they are all in a WhatsApp group.
In an interview with Infobae, Messi spilled the beans on the 'secret' group chat, although he admitted his teammates won't be happy with him.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner revealed that the group chat is called 'World Champions', and that AS Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes manages the group.
After revealing the information, Messi said: "They're going to kill me later! They are going to kill me."
