After a extremely successful start to the season with PSG, Messi has gone to Qatar to train with his teammates in the Argentina team and this striker is ready for the 5th World Cup in his career. Not long ago, El Pulga admitted that Qatar 2022 would be the last time this striker competed in a World Cup.
Despite still possessing impressive statistics, Messi understands that he is 35 years old and it will be difficult for him to maintain his top form in the coming years. The PSG striker admitted this in an interview with Movistar.
Specifically, when his former Argentina teammate Lavezzi asked about his future plans, Leo replied: "I love football, I love playing and I always want to enjoy football. I have been a player for the past life. But at this time, I don't think I can compete for many more years.
But I can confirm that the rest of my life will also be spent with football. However, at this time, I cannot say what work it is before".
When Lavezzi asked about the possibility of Messi returning to his former team Newell's Old Boys, the striker replied: "I don't know, in real life, everything can happen. Since I was a boy, I have always dreamed of playing and competing in my hometown Argentina.
"But at this time, whether I can return to my hometown to compete or not depends on many things. I have a family and three children. I have also just gone through one of the biggest changes in my life (meaning leaving Barca for PSG) and this has a big impact on me and my family. But now I've overcome that and I find myself extraordinary.
