Football superstar Lionel Messi confirms Qatar 2022 will be his last World Cup.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi has said he is counting the days until the World Cup and believes his team has a good chance of winning the tournament.
Argentina will arrive in Qatar with their confidence high after winning the 2021 Copa America final against hosts Brazil, which Messi believes was a turning point for his team after several near misses. “I don’t know if we’re the favorites, but Argentina is always a candidate because of its history. Now even more so because of the moment we’re in, but we are not the favorites. I think there are other teams that are above us.”
“I have been playing with the national team for a long time now,” Messi said. “There have been spectacular moments, like in 2014, 2015, and 2016 but we didn’t win and were criticized for not being champions.Messi said he was heading to Qatar with a positive outlook as the elder statesman in a team full of young talent who ended Argentina’s 28-year wait for an international trophy with their Copa America victory.
