Argentina and an unprecedented paternity over Brazil: from the Maracanazo de la Scaloneta to the epic qualification to Paris. The National Team had already passed the Canarinha in the history of the major league.

The epic qualification for Paris 2024 joins the recent triumph in the Under 17 World Cup. The precedent for the Under 20 World Cup occurred in 2005, the one that saw Messi shining for the first time in light blue and white. It was a 2-1 victory with a goal from Leo and another from Pablo Zabaleta on the hour mark, to get into the final.
