Captain of Argentina, Lionel Messi, has confirmed that the Qatar 2022 World Cup would be his last.
The diminutive forward has scored five goals and recorded four assists in the tournament so far as he rose to become Argentina’s all-time goal scorer with 96 goals.
After inspiring Argentina to a 3-0 win over Croatia in the Semifinals of the World Cup on Tuesday night, Messi confirmed to reporters that the tournament will be his last.
“I am very happy for finishing my journey in World Cups in a final, to play the last game in a final. That is really very gratifying,” he said.
“Everything I lived in this World Cup has been emotional, seeing how much it has been enjoyed in Argentina.”
The Argentine legend will be all out on Sunday to ensure that he bows out on a high when Argentina take on the winner between France and Morocco in the final of the tournament.
