Argentina captain Lionel Messi has stated that the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be his final appearance.
Messi stated this in his pre-match press conference on Monday, ahead of Argentina’s World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
Last year, the 35-year-old assisted Argentina in winning the Copa America trophy.
“I did nothing different; I just took care of myself,” Messi explained.
“I’ve worked the same way I’ve worked my entire career.”
“This is a special occasion, most likely my final World Cup.” “This is my last chance to make my dream, our dream, a reality.”
