I don't know what they’ll discuss in private but i don't think a 72y old is going to hold a press conference to apologize.
They could "retire" him but everyone would pin the blame on Cristiano given that the team actually played quite well in the last three matches.
Portuguese sites are currently flooded with comments in support of JJ.
Only Cristiano's teenage fans on Instagram are furious.
At the end of the day Cristiano will retire either this season or the next cuz he now struggles to coordinate his movements when he has the ball at his feet.
The FA will lose money, followers, sponsors, etc.

It's nothing like that.
It's a farewell match and a very emotional one. They recalled Messi just to give him farewell. It's more about Messi and his teammates enjoying themselves and cherish their last match together and doesn't want it to be competitive.
It's pointless to have a competitive team when everyone's focus is to give Messi a farewell match and enjoy as much as they can on field and live this moment one final time.

Džeko had his farewell match 4 days ago in a literal competition and a high level oponent and it was still emotional AND Sweden respected all protocols of the match and even gave him their own send off pre and post match
Benin is a nobody team for this calibre of match. They could have at least made it Newel's Old Boys

Here's the actual reason
As Messi retirement happened so suddenly AFA only had a few weeks to organize a stadium, design a special tribute kit, and find an opponent willing to travel. Many of the big teams have their busy schedule in October. Then they also didn't want it competitive because AFA is organizing this match as celebration party and to pay a grand tribute to Messi.
Benin was available, and was willing to travel on short notice and play it in relaxed atmosphere like celebration friendly match.
Another reason is AFA can have maximum revenue out of this.
So, I guess all reasons fits.
