Now there are World Cup qualifiers and Copa America, and it is very far away to think about the next World Cup. We must enjoy what we have achieved. I think due to age, it is difficult to play another World Cup.
Recall that the next World Cup will be held in stadiums in Mexico, the United States and Canada.
Messi and the Argentinian team became world champions at the World Cup 2022 . He played seven matches at the tournament where he scored seven goals and provided three assists.
