Prior to the World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Messi surprised with a statement in which he pointed out that in the Middle East he will play his last tournament with the Albiceleste. After winning the long-awaited Cup, Alexis Mac Allister made a revelation about the future of the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7) and excited all the fans of the Albiceleste.
At 35, the PSG forward was the main figure of the World Cup in Qatar. He scored seven goals, gave three assists, broke the record for the most games played and finally reached the long-awaited title. After the competition, he said that he wants to continue wearing the country’s jersey, but did not ensure that he will be available for the 2026 World Cup.
However, Alexis Mac Allister, who was one of Argentina’s best players in the tournament held in the Middle East, revealed: “Messi said it was going to be his last World Cup, but we don’t want that. We want him to stay with us, and he knows it. The other day he sent us a message wishing us a happy new year. He is very grateful to us.”
Will Lionel Messi be able to reach the 2026 World Cup?
The ‘Flea’ Messi is in his best moment. He started the season in a spectacular way with PSG and closed the year in dream fashion with Argentina. His performance makes the Parisian board try to extend his contract until 2025. If Leo remains in one of the five biggest leagues in Europe, everything indicates that he could play in the World Cup that will take place in Mexico, the United States and Canada.
