The only time they met was in 2010, in the run-up to the World Cup in South Africa. Argentina won 5-0 at the Monumental, with a double from Maxi Rodríguez and goals from Ángel Di María, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Agüero.
The Argentine National Team will debut this Thursday at the United States Copa América 2024 versus Canada, a rival that has been experiencing great growth in recent years.
The world champions had good performances in their friendlies prior to the Copa América. They beat Ecuador 1-0 in a closely contested match and recovered from a difficult start to beat Guatemala 4-1.
The Canadians, for their part, will seek to cause the big surprise in the opening match. The great figure of him is the left back of Bayern Munich, Alphonso Davies, who despite working as a defender has a great projection and is always a danger in the last third of the rival field.

Maradona preferred to preserve Lionel Messi against an opponent who posed practically no risk to the National Team.
