Messi ended his international trophy drought by winning the Copa America in 2021 and then went onto win back to back major titles in Finalissima and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, thus completing football.

La Pulga said that in March, he’s going to take all the World Cup Final souvenirs to his home in Barcelona as he has his ‘things and memories’ there. The 35-year has also expressed his desire to play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup as well, which will depend on the GOAT’s fitness for sure.
