2020 World Cup: Messi speaks on playing for Argentina

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has insisted that he doesn’t know if he would play for his country at the 2030 edition of the FIFA World Cup tournament.

The 39-year-old, however, said that he is only focused on the ongoing 2026 World Cup at the moment.

The Inter Miami forward has been impressive for Argentina so far at the World Cup.

Messi has scored five goals in two appearances for Argentina. He scored a hat-trick against Algeria and a brace against Austria.

When asked about playing at the 2030 World Cup, Messi said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano: “I don’t know.

“The truth is, I am not thinking about that right now.

“It seems a bit far off… but, as I said, I am living one day at a time and focused on the present.”
