Lionel Messi says 2022 World Cup in Qatar will ‘surely’ be his last

Buenos Aires, The Gulf Observer: Argentina captain Lionel Messi said Thursday that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will “surely” be the last of his career.

“It’s my last World Cup, surely. I feel good physically, I was able to do a very good pre-season this year, which I couldn’t do last year. It was essential to get to where I am, with a good state of mind and a lot of hope,” the 35-year-old told media.

Messi made his international debut in 2007 and has since won 164 caps for Argentina.
