Lionel Messi has spoken about his future in Argentina and the World Cup.
Messi is currently with the Argentina national team in Beijing for their June 15 match against Australia. The World Cup winner sat down with China TV to talk about his future with the team and whether he will play at the next World Cup. Here is what he had to say:
“As I said before, I don’t think I will participate in the next World Cup. I don’t know what will happen in the future but I haven’t changed my mind about it. I would like to be there to see it, but I’m not going to participate.
“After achieving the World Cup, which was what I was missing, I am satisfied and grateful for the career I have had. And that is the most important thing for me. I think I played my last World Cup.”
