Lionel Messi said that if he had not become world champion, he would no longer be in the national team
Argentina striker Lionel Messi spoke about the impact of winning the 2022 World Cup on his career. He is quoted by TyC Sports.
Messi said he enjoyed the tournament so much because he knew it could be his last. “Honestly, I think that I would no longer be in the national team if we had not become winners,” the striker shared.
The football player noted that the absence of a victory at the World Cup would mean that he was missing something. “Today, as a world champion, I cannot leave the national team, I have to enjoy all this,” he concluded.
Earlier, Messi made a statement about the future in the national team. “I will see how everything goes, but, in theory, no, I will not go to the next World Cup,” he stressed.
At the World Cup held in Qatar, Messi, together with the Argentina national team, became the world champion and was recognized as the most valuable player of the tournament. In addition, the International Football Federation named the striker the best player in 2022.
