Lionel Messi announced he will play “a few more matches” in the Argentina national team on Sunday after fulfilling his cherished dream of clinching the world championship after beating France 4-2 on penalties at Qatar’s Lusail Stadium .
messi35 said that during the competition, the final would be his last game in the World Championship, but he had not made it clear whether he would continue to play in Alviceleste or not, so there were doubts about his future. In an interview with TyC Sports, the team captain stated the following:
What happens next?! I won the Copa America and the World Cup, for which I fought a lot, at the end of my career, but I love football and I like being in the national team and I want to continue and live a few more games as world champion.
For messique he made his debut for the national team in 2005 and with whom he collected an immense collection of titles, CF Barcelona the last conquest in his last World Cup was the conquest that was missing to reach the late Diego Maradona.
I wanted to end my career with that, I can’t ask for anything more, thank God he gave me everything, and almost end my career because it’s the last few years, it’s an impressive thing. It’s crazy, the truth is that it’s made to order (the glass) but look how beautiful. I wanted a lot, I knew God would give it to me, I was sure and I felt like this was it.
In Qatar, “flea” led his teammates with his commanding voice and brilliance, broke several historical records and became the Argentine footballer with the most matches and goals in World Cups.
Minutes before, he received the trophy and celebrated with his teammates. FIFA chose Messi as the best player of the tournament.
I already want to be in Argentina to see how crazy it is. They should wait for me because I really want to go there and hang out with them.
