Messi Retires From Argentina National Team For Good

The 39-year-old Messi, who will continue playing for Inter Miami, made the announcement on Instagram two days after Argentina's extra-time defeat to Spain in the World Cup final. The decision was cemented by his father's recent death. This marks Messi's second retirement from international football; he previously stepped away in 2016 but returned. Over 207 appearances, Messi scored 125 goals and led Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup and the last two Copa América tournaments. macnevers-and-co.beer
