Leo Messi Confirms 'No Retirement' After Winning FIFA World Cup

BUENOS AIRES: Since the Argentine legend has stated he will not be retiring anytime soon, Lionel Messi's activities will continue to captivate us for a few more years. This occurs just days after Messi announced that the World Cup in Qatar would be his final one.

"I won't be leaving the Argentina national team, no. I want to keep competing at the highest level "He spoke to TyC Sports shortly after his team defeated France to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to reports.

Messi told Argentine reporters last week that he was "extremely thrilled to be able to do this, to end my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final" when he announced that the World Cup in Qatar would be his last.

"The next one is many years away, and I doubt I'll be able to complete it. And this is the best way to end, "Added he.

The 35-year-old has so far participated in 5 World Cup competitions. It was the first one in 2006. According to reports, Messi also broke the record for most FIFA World Cup appearances this year. The PSG star has now participated in 26 games over five World Cups.

However, according to doctors, he is currently in peak shape and has a few more years of life left in him.

The decision of whether Lionel Messi wants to participate in another World Cup is up to him, according to Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni. He will be with us if he wants to continue playing, according to Scaloni. "He has every right to choose what he wants to do with his career and whether he wants to continue playing for Argentina or not.

He is such a crucial part of our team. It gives us enormous joy to guide him and his teammates. He conveys to his teammates' incomparable information that I have never seen before.

In what turned out to be Lionel Messi's final World Cup, Argentina prevailed against Germany in the tensely contested championship match on Sunday. Argentina won the match 4-2 on penalties after the game was tied at the end of the second half of extra time.
