When we talk about the World Cup, Lionel Messi is never far away. Logic: the Argentinian genius won in 2022 the only major title it lacked at his record, with the Albiceleste. An end of career at the highest level in apotheosis, could we think then. Except that the left -hander had other plans in mind.
“After the World Cup, I couldn't see myself playing for another European team than Barça, he admitted to the “simple fontbol” YouTube channel. My goal was to come back. To go home, where it all started. But unfortunately, it was not possible. “ The former Parisian therefore opted for MLS and Inter Miami, a decision “Purely family” which is not like a pre-retirement.
This year will be important for my decision
This is evidenced by his year 2025 so far very successful. Messi has scored 7 times on his last 8 games and has lost none of his thirst for competition. “This nature will never leave me, because it is part of me. This is how I was raised. I like to win.” The one who will celebrate his 38th birthday in just over two months has, moreover, not at all drawn a line on a possible defense of his title with Argentina in 2026, in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
“This year will be important for my decision concerning the World Cup. I would lie if I said that I don't think about it.” And it is obviously all the Argentina who thinks about it with him. His candidacy is in any case much more solid than that of his former teammate Neymar with Brazil.
