Messi has done what Maradona did in 1986 by dominating the World Cup for Argentina. He ended up with the ‘Golden Ball’ award after scoring seven goals and accepting the responsibility of leading his team out of a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in the group stage.
No, I’m not leaving the Argentina national team, he told TyC Sports, as reported by Goal. I want to keep playing like a champion.
The Argentina legend also stated that he believes he will win the tournament this time. Argentina triumphed in an intensely fought final on Sunday, in what was Argentina’s talisman Lionel Messi’s final World Cup.
Messi, who was competing in his final FIFA World Cup this year, was in top form throughout the tournament. The 35-year-old legend did it all, scoring crucial goals, converting penalties, and assisting his teammates in scoring.
