Time is the only undefeated and always beats all the people on planet earth. Although Messi does otherworldly things on the field of play, his retirement is getting closer. Something that football fans do not even want to imagine.
In dialogue with Sebastían Vignolo, Argentine journalist, in a series of interviews for the streaming channel Star +the crack that today wears the colors of PSG told him that he will play his last World Cup in Qatar.
Within the same interview, he assured that he is counting down the days for the start of the tournament and that the team arrives at a very good moment both in the group aspect and in football. Vignolo asked him about a possible favoritism that the Albiceleste team has to lift the title and the captain responded by telling him that “there are teams that are above us” but that Argentina is always a candidate to be in the World Cup final.
In addition, when asked about the group that reached the final in Brazil 2014, the PSG figure assured that he sees similarities between both groups and that he enjoys every concentration he has with his teammates.
Since his debut in Germany 2006, Leo Messi has been present in all the World Cups and has always played the tournament in full physical form. In these competitions he has played 19 games (in 12 as captain) of which he won 12, tied 3 and lost 4. He has also scored 6 goals in World Cups. He has not yet confirmed if it will be the last chance to see him in the Argentina national team jersey or if he will be available for the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers or for the next edition of the Copa América.
In Qatar 2022 we will see the end of an era with the last appearance of Lionel Messi in a World Cup. Now, the question that the world is beginning to ask is: When will the best player in the world retire from the courts?
