The future of the Argentina national team depends largely, if not entirely, on Leo Messi’s wishes. The former Barcelona star and current PSG star is the best in his country and the great spirit of Albiceleste. If he is good, then Lionel Scaloni’s combination is also good, but if he fails, Argentina fails
Messi’s future will also largely depend on what happens at the World Cup in Qatar. The Argentine national team has reached the semi-finals, and the pass will be played to the final match on Tuesday evening against Croatia, the current world runner-up. Everyone will look to Messi to see the great things he can do.
It must be said that Argentina are the favorites to play in the final, but they are also the team with the most numbers to win the title. However, we will have to pay attention to the role that Luka Modric’s Croatia could play and also who could be the other finalist: whether it be the French team, world champions, or Morocco, the great revelation of the competition
Everything will be decided between Tuesday, when Argentina-Croatia will play, on Wednesday, with France and Morocco, and on Sunday, with the Grand Final
And more and more information points to an unexpected decision by Messi if he ends up winning the World Cup. He’s already lost the final in 2014 and the World Cup is the only major title he’s missing. For the Argentines, Messi can finally reach the level of Diego Armando Maradona if he lifts the World Cup in Qatar wearing the captain’s armband
What will happen if Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar is not yet known, but the options are growing, it may be time for Messi’s final farewell to the Albiceleste. He actually made his first attempt to leave the Argentine national team in 2016, after being constantly and unjustifiably criticized by his countrymen, but he ended up returning. And after lifting the Copa America in 2021, the next big trophy could be the World Cup
