"The America's Cup will be the last competition in which I will wear the Argentina jersey, with all the pain in my soul and with difficulty I say goodbye to the best thing that happened to me in my career. Thank you to the fans, thank you to the family, thank you to friends and teammates, we continue to make history and this will remain forever."

The footballer has made 136 appearances for world champions Argentina since his debut in 2008, playing in four World Cups and scoring in the Qatar 2022 final against France.
