The game was highlighted by a pitch invader who, despite being from Paraguay, managed to get a photo with Argentina captain and PSG icon Lionel Messi. At the final whistle, he joined the Paraguay players in thanking the spectators.

Argentina drew 0-0 with Paraguay in a World Cup qualifier Thursday night at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco. They are now in second place in the table, eight points behind leaders Brazil and three points ahead of Ecuador in third. Argentina has yet to lose a game this season, winning five and drawing four.

In a free transfer that rocked the foundations of European football, Lionel Messi left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain this summer. In three appearances in Ligue Un, he has yet to score, although he did score his first goal for his new club against Manchester City in dramatic manner in the Champions League. His ultimate goal, though, is to lead Argentina to World Cup success in 2022.
