Messi’s Argentina Future Remains Unclear, But Being Around La Albiceleste Is Where He Feels Alive
Lionel Messi’s incredible hat-trick against Bolivia in the South American World Cup qualifiers has put him on an all-time high. The 37-year-old Barcelona legend, level with his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo on the most international hat-tricks, has once again shown us why he’s the king of the pitch. But what about his future with the Argentina national team? The magician hasn’t given any clear signs, but for now, he’s too busy basking in the adoration of the Argentine fans.
It’s not hard to understand why Messi would want to hang up his boots for good. He’s already achieved incredible success with six Ballon d’Or awards, ten La Liga titles, and four UEFA Champions League trophies to name just a few. Yet, as he hinted, playing for Argentina brings a different kind of joy. The connection with the passionate fans is undeniable, and it’s no secret that Messi loves being the center of attention.
Messi’s Plan to Contribute and Enjoy the Love
When asked about his plans for the 2026 World Cup, Messi remained tight-lipped. He’s not set a deadline, and his focus is on feeling the love from the fans in these potentially final games. For now, being surrounded by younger teammates, who he says makes him feel like a kid again, is a big part of his motivation to continue. As long as he can maintain that feeling and contribute to the team, Messi plans to be around for a while.
What’s Next for Messi and Argentina?
Argentina will next be in action during the November international break. With Messi on song, the team is looking fierce, and the prospect of defending their World Cup title is tantalizing. As we wait to see what the future holds for the Argentine maestro, one thing is certain – being with his teammates and fans is where he feels most alive.
