Lionel Messi Says He's Not Retiring from Argentina Team After World Cup Win

Following Argentina's victory over France in the World Cup final on Sunday, Lionel Messi has no intentions of retiring from the national team.

I'm not going to stop playing for the national team. Messi told TyC Sports that he would like to keep playing for Argentina.

ngel Di Mara made it a 2-0 game in the 36th minute after Lionel Messi scored on a penalty kick.

One of the most exciting World Cup finals ever took place after La Albiceleste held on to a 2-0 lead over France in the second half at Lusail Stadium.

The game was tied in the 81st minute after France's Kylian Mbappé scored two goals, including a penalty kick.

Just when La Albiceleste thought it had won the game, Mbappé scored on a penalty kick in the 118th minute.

Argentina won the World Cup on penalties after the game was tied at 3 after 120 minutes.

He won the Golden Ball as the best player of the World Cup after scoring seven goals and assisting three others. He is the first player in history to win the Golden Ball two times.

Messi made his debut for Argentina's senior national team in 2005. In addition to winning the World Cup, Messi has also helped Argentina win gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as well as the 2021.

He could lead Argentina at the World Cup when he's 39, even though it was thought that the World Cup would be his last.

Even if he isn't the same player, Messi will return to the World Cup in four years.
