India, July 27 -- Argentina may have fallen short in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final after a 1-0 extra-time defeat to Spain, but Lionel Messi ensured the campaign ended with a special gesture for his teammates. The Argentina captain gifted every member of the squad a commemorative present as a tribute to their efforts and the journey they shared throughout the tournament.

Details of the gifts remained private until Marcos Senesi's partner, Kelci-Rose Bowers, revealed them in a TikTok video. She showed that Messi had presented the players with personalised mate collections, a meaningful symbol of Argentine culture that reflected the unity and bond within the squad.
