While in Barcelona begin to sound strong the voices that ask the prompt renewal of Leo Messi, the '10' is fully concentrated in his current campaign, that is the one to conquer once and for all the Glass America that so much resists him with the T-shirt albiceleste.

'The Flea', that made history when equalising the number of internacionalidades of his compatriot Javier Mascherano, went back to contribute to that the ones of Scaloni beat to his rival by 1-0, in this case Paraguay, as they already did does some days in front of the Uruguay of Luis Suárez.

Although Argentina follows something lacking of production goleadora, the 1-0 of the 'Papu' Gómez was sufficient and costs the classification to quarter-finals of the tournament, keeping the albiceleste a big consistency backwards that it has allowed him not fitting goals in any of the two parties contested to date.

Going back to Messi, already are 147 internacionalidades and this next Monday, if all course according to the planned, the rosarino will surpass to Mascherano and will do even more history with the selection, of which is maximum goleador and maximum assistant.

Another that went back to smile was the 'Kun' Agüero, that contested 58 minutes in front of Paraguay but was not able to find goal and saw him still something lacking of rhythm, after the physical problems and the fault of minutes that has suffered in an atypical season with the Manchester City.

There was good connections between Messi and Agüero, between them a beautiful combination that showed to Leo coming from backwards with the ball to the foot, to the 'Kun' going out and giving back the wall and to the rosarino without option to progress by fault of the Paraguayan defence.

Sometimes a goal is sufficient

The case is that Argentina, with Messi and Agüero in the tip of attack and six changes regarding the headlines that won to Uruguay, again imposed a big superiority and so much Gave María like the Papu Gómez were important. The player of the Seville no only marked; also it did trascendente in other moments of the game. Guido Rodríguez repeated a solvent task, this time with Leandro Walls to his side.

In the second time Argentina was not so fine and delivered the balloon to Paraguay during distinct phases, although the invalid capacity of attack of the ones of Berizzo and the férrea defence of the albiceleste prevented that the marker moved . With the 1-0, same result that in front of Uruguay, Argentina already has 6 points and is classified automatically for quarter-finals of the Glass America 2021.
