Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentina national team, announced on Thursday that the 2022 World Cup will be the last of his career, in an interview with ESPN.
“It’s my last World Championship. It sure is. I feel good physically, I’ve had a good pre-season this year, because I couldn’t last year, it was essential to start differently to arrive the way I arrived, with a lot of mentality and enthusiasm”said Lionel Messi.

The ‘Albiceleste’ scorer, who has scored 90 goals in 164 games, will participate in his fourth World Cup, admitting that “there is fear and anticipation of winning the cup”. We can’t wait for you to come.”
The Paris Saint-Germain player believes the team led by Lionel Scaloni is having a “good moment”, with 35 games without losing.
“We came at a good time, with a well-armed and very strong group, but anything can happen.” All games are very difficult. The favorites don’t always win or don’t always go as we expected.”
Speaking of Argentina’s possible favouritism at the World Cup, Messi says the country is always a strong candidate “because of its history and for what it represents”, but that “we are not the only favourites, there are other teams above us” Messi concluded. .
