The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-German player cleared the air about whether he will partake in the next World Cup or not. Lionel Messi was speaking in an interview when he was asked if he would play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“It depends on how I feel, how I am physically, and being realistic with myself. There’s still a lot of time left in quotes, ‘a lot and a little,’ because it goes by quickly, but there is still some time and I don’t know how I will be at that moment. Age is also a reality that is there, even though it’s just a number. The matches I will play now aren’t the same as those I played when I was in Europe competing every three days, either in the Champions League or in the league, whether in France or Spain. But it depends on how I feel and what I feel being alongside my teammates, and seeing if I am still up to the level or not… let’s see!”.
