Messi said, more questions have to be heard about the 2026 World Cup

Lionel Messi faced the most questions in Argentina? Two questions may come to mind while guessing. The first may be, when to retire? The second maybe, what will you play in the 2026 World Cup? These two questions are currently the most discussed or important about the career of the Argentine legend.

Messi himself said, not retirement, but his non-play in the 2026 World Cup is the most questionable in Argentina. In an interview given to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano on the 433 app, the Inter Miami star said, "I don't know (whether to play in the 2026 World Cup or not). There are many questions about this, especially in Argentina. I want to finish this year well, then start next year's pre-season well, with a lot of travel that I didn't get to last year.'

Messi then said, '(After a good start to the pre-season) I'll try to understand how I'm doing, how I'm feeling. (of the 2026 World Cup) as we are close, there is still time and anything can happen in football. Moving forward each day, not thinking beyond it.'

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Messi has one more year left on his contract with Inter Miami, the US Major League Soccer (MLS) club. Messi joined this South Florida club as a free agent in July last year. Despite winning the club's first title, Miami suffered in 2023. Miami finished the MLS regular season 14th in the Eastern Conference table and failed to qualify for the playoffs. The 37-year-old Messi's hunger to improve has increased. Miami won the Supporters Shield in MLS this year. Messi's name is among the five finalists for MLS MVP (Most Valuable Player). In addition to scoring 20 goals in only 19 matches in this season, this Argentinian forward has also scored 16 goals.

The record 8-time Ballon d'Or winner said that winning the MLS Cup is now Miami's biggest goal, "If you want to grow the club, you have to win the title." The club is one year behind in MLS (2023). Won the Leagues Cup after I arrived, which was also the club's first title. It was wonderful. Now we are desperate to play the playoffs and hopefully win the MLS as well. That's what we value most from a club and personal standpoint.''Miami won the first of a three-match playoff against Atlanta United 2–1. Tomorrow is the second leg at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Messi said, at this stage, they don't want to make any more mistakes, "We made a lot of mistakes, which we can avoid." These cannot happen in the playoffs, as errors may result in elimination. We have to be stronger and take advantage of the opportunity. (In winning the MLS Cup) We are one of the favorites but there are strong opponents. They won't give up and other teams respect us the way we respect them. Messi also changed his playing style after joining Miami. In order to adapt to the MLS, he said, 'I have changed my playing style considering my age and situation. Adapting to everything slowly. Changed myself and started adapting to the league, which is new to me. I was comfortable from the beginning.
