Messi Set for Final World Cup Match a Decade After Brief Retirement

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Lionel Messi is expected to play his last World Cup game on Sunday when Argentina faces Spain. The match takes place at MetLife Stadium, exactly 10 years after the star briefly left the national team. In 2016, following several painful defeats, Messi announced he was quitting Argentina's squad. He later returned and helped the team win the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup. Now, at 37, Messi is likely to end his international career on the biggest stage. Neither he nor the coach has confirmed this is his final World Cup appearance, but many believe it will be. Fans around the world are watching as one of football's greatest players prepares to say goodbye. The final is expected to be an emotional event for Argentina and soccer fans everywhere.
