Lionel Messi will be playing his final world cup in Qatar, This is the news that was expected however, we are still unable to believe it. The great footballer era is coming to an end. Christiano Ronaldo, who is only 37 years old, and Lionel Messi, who is 35, are two of the greatest players in the history of the game. However, it appears that Messi’s reign is ending even before that of Ronaldo. This is because Messi has confirmed that the upcoming world cup in Qatar will be his final appearance in professional football.
Messi stated, “I am sincerely saying Yes, this is my last World Cup and I am counting down the days for the World Cup to Qatar. I can sense a lot of anxiety and nerves at the moment, about the future. I don’t know what we are going to do and what’s going to happen. It is finally the last one, we are living it to be the difficult one. I can’t wait for that moment to arrive as it is difficult yes.”
Argentina experienced great success with Copa America last year, and now the team is traveling to Qatar to compete in the World Cup Trophy, which they hope to win and hold in their hands as the team receiving the most support. The Argentine football player added that the team is accustomed to living up to such expectations during a major tournament.
Messi added, “We are in a very good moment as to how things have turned out for the team Argentina is a very strong group, but you never know that anything can happen in the World Cup, It is not always the case when a favorite team is going to win and keeping that expectation is difficult as all the matches that we play are pretty demanding and challenging. Argentina to me means a lot as a candidate and a player to the team, it is great to be part of the history of the team. We may not be the favorite to all that is what I think. Many teams are above us in the game, but we are also very close to them.”
Despite the fact that the globe is right in front of him, Messi was supporting Paris Saint-Germain in both the Champions League and Ligue 1. Only the World Cup title has eluded Messi, and winning it would enhance his reputation, which is another reason favor of him being considered the best player of all time.
