World Cup 2026, Lionel Messi does not close the door
During an interview given to the program 'Star Plus Campeones', eight-time Ballon d'or Lionel Messi è returned to talk about his future and the possibility of taking the field with the Argentine national team at the next World Cup in 2026.
"Only time will tellà if he will be there or not. The realityà è that I am about to reach an ageà at which normally I should not play a World Cup. That is why it would be normal to say that I won't be there. It seemed to me that after the last World Cup it was over and I was on the verge of retiring, but instead è everything was the opposite. Now I have more desire than ever to be here, because after going through so many years of suffering, today we live a special moment that I have never experienced before with Argentina and I want to enjoy it. As long as I feel good and can continue to contribute, I will;. The only goal I think about è arriving well at the Copa America in order to compete and try to win" began the former Barcelona and PSG player.
" I feel good in the group,I enjoy it. We have created a very united and healthy staff that likes to be together. I want to enjoy this without thinking about what will happenà in two or three years, becauseé in soccer, in such a wide time frame, anything can happen" added Lionel Messi.
