This is the team’s 4th consecutive final. It’s easy to say, but this journey is very difficult. Let’s enjoy this moment again, another final, like the previous matches,” Messi expressed.

Coach Lionel Scaloni also shared his special feelings when talking about Messi. He said: “We will never close the team door to Messi. He can be here whenever he wants, even if he retires. I myself will take him wherever he goes.” He follows, as long as he wants it.”

Lionel Messi debuted for the national team in 2005. He scored 109 goals in 186 international matches, won Copa America 2021, FIFA World Cup 2022 and won the 2022 Intercontinental Super Cup.
