Argentina’s World Cup squad returns to the country after the team’s tournament run, with media reports focusing on which players travelled. The Argentina Football Association earlier indicated that not all squad members would take the same flight back. According to NDTV, images broadcast on local television did not show Lionel Messi descending from the aircraft when the team arrived. Reports also note that Messi was not seen at the time the aircraft images were aired, suggesting he may not be on the scheduled return flight. The information comes from the association’s earlier statement about selective travel for some squad members and from the absence of Messi in the publicly aired arrival footage. While the reports describe the discrepancy between the team’s arrival and Messi’s visibility in the broadcast, they do not provide additional confirmation about his location or the cause of the reported difference in travel plans. The wider details of the World Cup outcome are referenced only as “heartbreak” in the coverage, without further specifics in the provided text.
