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.
