Who is listed as Argentina's captain on its men's national team page?

Lionel Messi is listed as Argentina’s captain on its men’s national team page.

Messi assumed Argentina’s captaincy in 2011 and has remained the team’s central leader through one of the most successful periods in its modern history. As captain, he led Argentina to the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 Finalissima and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The 2022 World Cup triumph was especially significant. Argentina defeated France in a final that finished 3–3 after extra time and was decided by a penalty shootout. Messi scored twice in the match and became the first player to win the World Cup Golden Ball twice.

Messi is also Argentina’s most-capped player and leading international goalscorer. Nicolás Otamendi has frequently served as a senior defensive leader, while Emiliano Martínez is a prominent goalkeeper, but neither is listed as the national team’s captain. Ángel Di María was another veteran of Argentina’s trophy-winning generation.
