Argentina no longer reliant on Messi, believes Scaloni - Soccer News
Briefly

Lionel Scaloni expressed confidence in Argentina's ability to cope with Lionel Messi's absence in upcoming matches, especially ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Colombia. Having already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, Argentina is performing strongly, and Scaloni believes that the team has matured to function well whether Messi plays or not. This shift reflects an evolution in team dynamics, contrasting with the past when the squad relied heavily on the star player. Scaloni acknowledges Colombia's potential as a formidable opponent in the qualifiers.
The team is in a moment where it can play in the same way with or without Leo, which used to be more complex in the past as we had to change some players.
It's a great team, and with great players, and it has a clear style that can put you in trouble.
