FIFA World Cup: Leo Messi DOWNPLAYS Argentina, claims ENGLAND are Favourites to win Qatar World Cup – Check Out

Messi denies assertions that Argentina are the favourites to win the World Cup claimed by people like Spain manager Luis Enrique. Despite Argentina’s amazing 35-game winless streak, which dates back to 2019, Messi feels Argentina has a long way to go.

In an interview with CONMEBOJ, Messi said: “The candidates are always the same. There are a few surprises but in general, the big teams are the candidates. Above the rest? Brazil, France, England. Today, they are a little above the rest but anything can happen.”

Messi is expected to be essential to Argentina’s success on and off the field in Qatar. He contributed five assists and four goals in seven games as Argentina won the Copa America the previous year. According to Angel Di Maria, he also motivated his teammates with a stirring speech prior to the championship match versus Brazil.With nine goals in his past three games, Messi is also regaining form for his nation just in time.

The ace has nearly every trophy under the sun in his illustrious career. However, the World Cup is one he has yet to claim. There is renewed optimism that he can win football’s top honour when Argentina finally won their  first international honour in the Copa America in 2021 under Messi. Messi’s international manager Lionel Scaloni expects that it won’t be his last opportunity to win the title at the age of 35.

He told beIN Sports: “I hope this won’t be Messi’s last World Cup. He is happy on the pitch and makes a lot of people happy, not just Argentines. If we take care of him and wear him the way we should, there’s the possibility of more games because the world of football demands it.” 

Argentina is the favourite to win their group, which also includes Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland. On November 21st, they will launch their campaign against Saudi Arabia.
