You guys should know better before accepting to go and play in that racist Argentina. Just check the history of blacks in Argentina. Coach, Messi signed your jersey because you a white.

Why Argentina of all places. Messi is a celebrated racist who naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with blacks. Unlike Brazil, Argentina eliminated all the indegenous blacks in that country. And that's how come you hardly see blacks there. Benin should have known better.

Whether you like it or not, it was awesome experience to play against Messi's Argentina. Kudos to Benin goalie. And overall Benin didn't play bad either.

I don't understand the comments in this article and criticism. It was thr last dance of Messi with Argentina, with speeches and big shows aftermatch, as we have all seen...when do you want to do jersey exchanges?????? Other ignorant people are saying Argentina is racist bevause no blacks, unlike Brazil...look Brazil enslaved 5mio of africans, it is the last country to abolish slavery in the world. Argentina forbid importation of enslaved people at its independence, probably this explain why there are few blacks.... dont be fool

@Tresor Abujie,please don't misinform readers here there were blacks in Argentina at their independence like other neighbouring states,there was systematic state sponsored discrimination against blacks which made their stay impossible ànd they had to migrate to other countries for their own safety.It is even not as if they are wealthy,they live on IMF like the rest of us with poorly managed economies.

Chile: less black people than Argentina...Paraguay: no black people....Bolivia: no black...Uruguay: very small popualtion...Brazil: slavery and slave trade existing until end of XIX century (decades after the rest of the continent). More books and less tiktoks for you hahahahaha

I am a Ghanaian and I lived in Argentina for six months, and it’s one of the most racist countries in the world, hence, I can’t be surprised at all.

WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED TO RECEIVED SUCH TREATMENT FROM THESE ARGENTINIANS. LOOK AT THEIR HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE. ARGENTINA WAS ONCE HAD POPULATION 30-40% BLACK PEOPLE FROM AFRICAN DESCENT, NOW ONLY 1%. ASK YOURSELVES WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BLACK POPULATION? THEY WERE SYSTEMATICALLY AND DELIBERATELY ELIMINATED, AND REPOPULATED WITH EUROPEANS.
