Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni would like to see the superstar, who is one of only six players to have played in five World Cups, compete in the next World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
I think Messi can make it to the next World Cup, Scaloni said last month on Spanish radio Calvia FM. It will be very dependent on what he wants and what happens over time to make him feel good. The doors will remain open at all times. He’s happy on the field, which is good for us.
Messi, who scored seven goals in the 2022 World Cup, has the potential to become the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer if he plays in 2026. He has 13 goals, three fewer than Germany’s Miroslav Klose.
