Argentina takes on Burkina Faso in Buenos Aires this Saturday in the second of three friendlies scheduled during the current international window.
La Albiceleste returned to action for the first time following their World Cup final defeat earlier this week, hammering Bolivia 4–0 in their opening fixture since Lionel Messi announced he would be retiring from international football. The eight-time Ballon d'Or recipient will play his farewell Argentina match against Benin next Tuesday, but is set to sit out the upcoming encounter with Burkina Faso.
This fixture marks the first-ever encounter between these two nations—and potentially the last for quite some time—with Argentina heavily favored to secure the win and claim a seventh victory against African opposition this decade.
Here's everything fans need to know about how to watch Argentina take on the Stallions.
