Qatar 2022: "This Will Surely Be My Last World Cup" - Lionel Messi by fergie001(op): 6:52pm On Oct 06, 2022

The Paris Saint-Germain forward has represented Argentina at four World Cups, with the tournament in Qatar being his fifth.

But the 35-year-old has now made it clear he will not be playing on until the next edition of the competition, which takes place in the United States, Mexico and Canada. He would be 39 by the end of that competition, which will take place in summer 2024.

He told ESPN: “I am counting down the days until the World Cup, the truth is yes, there is a bit of nerves because we can’t wait to play. On the other hand, there is always a certain tension ahead of the tournament.”

When asked whether it will be his last World Cup, he replied: “Yes, it will be."

The football world would surely miss him even if he wasn’t lucky in winning the World Cup but winning the copa to silence his critics was the biggest win for him
This worldcup is his last dance n I wish him success in winning it because Argentina have never been in this best form in ages
He knows he won’t be in active football in the next 4 years bcoz age is catching up, unlike the other one dt is planning to play euros next 2 years when he knows dt his current form is bad n the Portuguese fans are asking for him to be dropped to the bench in d coming worldcup

We would still enjoy him in club football in the coming seasons bt when he finally decides to hang his boot, the world would miss this talented genius
Messi have done soo much for football, av left the bar too high that whatever any footballer does, it would be taken as nothing
Haaland is doing insane numbers currently bt nobody is talking bcoz a certain leo Messi had already spoilt us with more insane numbers
Football would hardly forget leo wen he is gone
He is simply the S.I unit of football

Well, he'll be 39 and most likely retired by the time the next world cup arrives.

Man has paid his dues, the awards and the magic feets are his receipts.

Man and the other tall one taught me not to be emotional about football, just enjoy your thing, get paid and move on.
