Lionel Scaloni, Argentina’s head coach, has said that Lionel Messi is welcome to continue playing for the national team until he decides to retire. Messi stated prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup that it would be his last appearance at the quadrennial competition.
However, according to Marca, the superstar player for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stated that he desired to play a few more games as world champion after La Albiceleste won the title. “What will transpire following this? I was close to the end of my career after fighting so much. Messi stated, “I want to live a few more games as world champion. ”
Scaloni has now said that the Argentina captain could decide when La Pulga will retire. He as of late said (as cited by @AlbicelesteTalk on Twitter): “Leo is fine; he will continue to come here until he says otherwise.” Both on the field and with the National Team, he is content.”
Lionel Messi won the Golden Ball, which is given to the tournament’s best player, after finishing the World Cup with seven goals and three assists. In addition, he has been on fire for PSG this season, scoring 18 goals and assisting on 17 others in 32 games across all competitions.
This month, Lionel Messi might score his 100th goal for Argentina:
