“Your impressive career made you a great reference point for Argentine sports and around the world… Thank you, Luis Scola,” wrote Messi on Instagram.

The last game in the national team for Luis Scola was not as enjoyable as he would have wanted. Argentina lost to Australia in the Olympic Games quarterfinals and ended their quest for the medals. Tokyo 2020 were the fifth Olympics for the Argentinian legend. He ranks fourth on the Olympic all-time scorers list, only behind legendary Oscar Schmidt, Andrew Gaze and Pau Gasol
