Coverage & calculations
Official goals and appearances for Argentina’s senior men’s national team, including recognised international friendlies. Youth and Olympic teams, club football and penalty shoot-outs are excluded. Each point is the cumulative total at the end of a calendar year; 2026 includes only matches through the displayed coverage date. The four trophies are senior titles: Copa América 2021 and 2024, Finalissima 2022 and World Cup 2022. Annual totals are reconciled against AFA, RSSSF and the published year-by-year table; the pre-farewell total is confirmed by FIFA. The farewell result is added only after source verification; scheduled fixtures never increase totals.
