Lionel Messi responds to question about ending his career with Argentina national team

Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi has stated that he has not yet decided to end his career with the national team after the match against Venezuela (3:0) in the 17th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

BAKU.WS reports that he spoke about this in his statement to "TyC Sports".

"I am full of enthusiasm, excited, and looking forward to continuing. We are moving forward step by step. I haven't made a decision yet!" - Messi said.

Recall that 38-year-old Lionel Messi confirmed last week that the match against Venezuela in Buenos Aires would be his last home game in the World Cup qualifiers.

The Argentina national team has already secured the final first place in the South American zone in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
