Messi: "f we had not been World Champions I would no longer be in the national team"

Argentina became the World Cup champions by defeating France.

Argentina

 started their games in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a defeat against Saudi Arabia. However, they reached the final and emerged as champions by defeating France in a penalty shootout. Lionel Messi scored 2 goals for Argentina in the final match.

Lionel Messi spoke about winning the World Cup to an Argentine TV network.

"I enjoyed very much every moment throughout the World Cup. I enjoyed it like I had never done before. A bit because I knew it could be my last World Cup. And to be honest, I think if we had not been World Champions I would no longer be here in the national team. Absolutely, but now, being a World Champion I can't leave the national team. I have to enjoy all this. But back then, it was like I enjoyed it and at the same time I had enormous peace of mind and confidence in the group we had," 

Messi said.

Lionel Messi will soon be introduced as a new player for Inter Miami. He previously parted ways with Paris Saint-Germain after the expiration of his contract.
