The Peruvian national team will seek an important victory against Argentina this Tuesday in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Although it would be expected that all local fans support the 'Bicolor' in this decisive match, some of the Lima fans decided to express their support for Lionel Messi and the 'Albiceleste'.

"Argentina has to win with two goals from Messi. 100% Argentina. It doesn't matter (if the Peruvians get upset). We are Messi fans," emphasized a young fan wearing an Inter Miami jersey in an interview with TyC Sports.
