A fresh update has cast uncertainty over the international future of Lionel Messi, with indications that a significant moment may have already passed.
According to a report shared by Fabrizio Romano, Argentina’s national team photographer Manuel Cortina suggested that a recent training session at the Ezeiza complex could have been Messi’s last with the national side. The statement has sparked widespread discussion among fans and media, as it hints at a possible end to an iconic international journey.
Messi, who led Argentina national football team to World Cup glory in 2022, has not yet made a final decision regarding his future with the team. Sources indicate that plans for the upcoming international cycle, including the next FIFA World Cup, remain unclear from the player’s side.
The 38-year-old has already achieved every major honour in international football. His legacy includes a Copa America title and the long-awaited World Cup triumph. Despite this, there has been no official announcement about retirement or continuation.
