The peak of Lionel Messi's career
Lionel Messi's highest point was winning the World Cup with the Argentine National Team in Qatar 2022. He had been pursuing it since Germany 2006 - when he first participated in a World Cup. With less than three months remaining until the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup begin, Argentine fans are hopeful that 'Leo' will lead the team that will defend the title in the tournament that will take place in three countries: United States, Mexico, and Canada.
However, in a recent interview, the star born in Rosario stated that his presence in the tournament is not guaranteed. He would arrive at the age of 39, and there are many factors that will come into play when he makes the decision. Cesar Luis Menotti spoke about this in an interview for Súper Deportivo Radio, where he considered that if he is physically well, they would have no problem including him in the squad.
