Grateful for what football has given him and what he has achieved, he said Lionel Messiawarded by Marca at an event in Miami as the player with the most titles in history. The 37-year-old superstar declared “full”, but left open the possibility of playing in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in America.
“I thank God because I have fulfilled all my dreams. I have been able to achieve much more than I ever dreamed of when I was a child. I managed to make every player’s biggest dream come true, to win the World Cup. When I started my career I was lucky enough to win many titles with the club of my life, Barcelona. I won trophies with Paris and now with Inter Miami. I couldn’t ask for anything more but we are close to another title and I will always try my best“, emphasized the Argentine.
On whether it is a motivation for him to play in the 2026 World Cup, he said:I live day by day, enjoy the moment and when the moment comes we will see. I hope I can continue to perform at this level, feel good and be happy, because when I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I’m happy. I haven’t set a goal to get there, but I look day by day and want to be good. Then we’ll see».
After several difficult years with Argentina, “Leo” now has the recognition he deserves. “I am very happy to have played in a full stadium for the national team and to hear the people chanting my name. It is the best for me. I have worked hard and gone through many difficult times with the national team to get to this point and now I am enjoying it more than ever“, he underlined.
Finally, he mentioned his favorite places. “Barcelona and Argentina are my two homes. My family and I enjoy being there. But even now we are in a city (namely Miami) where we are happy and enjoying it“, he said.
