Argentina is now unbeaten since 2019, a sequence of 36 matches. They can beat Italy’s all-time record of 37 unbeaten if they avoid defeat in their first three games of the 2022 World Cup group stages. Messi scored a brace off the bench in Albiceleste’s 3-0 win over Jamaica last night, their final match before the World Cup.
