Switzerland won against Colombia in a penalty shootout and officially punched their ticket to the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Swiss squad showed strong character, standing as the underdogs but prevailing against the strong defense of the Colombian team. The win against Colombia took Switzerland to the next stage of the tournament, where they will face powerhouse Argentina, led by Lionel Messi. This match seems to be a throwback to their meeting in 2014 at the Brazil World Cup, where the match was tight and only Angel Di Maria led to the victory for the Argentinians. One of the strongest pillars of the Swiss team is their captain Granit Xhaka, who in 2014 was already wearing the number 10 jersey. Now, as the leader and inspiration of the team, Xhaka admits that it is very difficult to control Messi for 90 or even 120 minutes. But for Xhaka and the entire Swiss squad, they look at this opportunity as a privilege – to be part of Messi's era and confess to one of the best in history.

"We do not deny respect to Messi and Argentina, but we are not afraid. We know that Switzerland has come a long way since 2014, always showing up in the World Cup and European tournaments. We are proud of every representation, and our thirst to win is still there. We want to go beyond the previous borders of Swiss football," said Xhaka in an interview from international media. With their experience, and the addition of new energies and skills to the group, fans will once again be waiting to see how they will take on Argentina's rare combination of discipline and talent. According to Xhaka, "We must make the most of this opportunity, show who Switzerland is – and, above all, make it difficult for Messi to show off." The match between Switzerland and Argentina is expected to be one of the most anticipated matches of the World Cup 2026, because it is not only a story of the courage of the underdog but also of facing the legend Lionel Messi, which may be his last World Cup. The Swiss will surely be thrilled to make football history in the next match.

What's next

In their next match, Switzerland is expected to show a more solid defense and a better attack to stop the attacks of Messi and Argentina. A victory in this match could give a huge momentum to the Swiss squad, which aims to achieve its best result in the World Cup 2026.
