After the away win over Chile, Argentina extended their unbeaten run to 28. In the absence of Messi and many other players, the Blue and White Legion still showed great strength and combat effectiveness.
Argentina last lost on July 3, 2019, when they lost to Brazil in the copa America semi-finals. Starting with the copa America 3rd place battle against Chile on 6 July, Argentina are unbeaten in 28 matches.
In these 28 matches, Argentina won 18 wins and 10 draws, winning the Copa America in 2021, breaking the curse of 28 years of no title. The longest unbeaten record in Argentine history was a 31-game unbeaten record set by Basile from 1991 to 1993.
Not only that, Argentina's 28-game unbeaten record is currently the longest unbeaten record in world football, and the longest unbeaten record in history is the 37 unbeaten games set by the Italian national team.
If the unbeaten record is extended until 2022, Argentina will break the record held by Italy, which means that the Blue and White will win the World Cup. For Messi, Di Maria, and Scaloni, this is also their ultimate goal.
