KATHMANDU | Before the grand finale of the FIFA World Cup football, Argentina captain Lionel Messi shared an emotional message dedicated to his teammates and supporters. Ahead of the title clash against Spain, he took to social media to express that the unforgettable moments spent with the squad are the greatest achievements of his life.
Sharing a collective photograph with the Argentine squad and support staff, Messi highlighted that over the years of their journey, more than winning titles, every moment spent together, the mutual support provided during tough times, and their shared struggles are what truly matter as the most invaluable assets to him.
Expressing his gratitude toward the coaches, players, and all members associated with the team, he stated that regardless of the outcome, Argentina has already written an indelible history in world football. He concluded his message by boosting the team’s morale, saying, “Let’s go Argentina!”
He said—
“The most beautiful thing in all these years was not just winning titles, but the entire journey itself. Spending every day with this group, competing together, lifting each other up during difficult times, and enjoying every moment of the journey has been the most special part. A heartfelt thank you to each of my fellow players, the coaching staff, and everyone who works dedicatedly every day to advance this national team as a family. No matter what happens tomorrow, this group has written a history that we will never forget and no one can ever erase.”
Messi’s message is also being viewed as an indication toward the final chapter of his international football career. There is widespread speculation that the FIFA World Cup final could be his last World Cup appearance, alongside ongoing chatter that he might retire from international football altogether. However, he has not provided any official comment regarding his future plans.
He mentioned that his entire focus is currently centered on the final match, noting that the semifinal victory against England provided a wonderful opportunity to bring immense joy to Argentine supporters.
Messi is also in the race for individual accolades, including the competition for the tournament’s top goalscorer. However, his primary objective remains leading Argentina to another historic World Cup title.
