Lionel Messi could not hold back his tears as he bid an emotional farewell to playing in Argentina, hinting that his World Cup journey may also be nearing its end.
On Thursday night at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, the Argentine superstar scored twice in his country’s 3-0 victory over Venezuela in the World Cup qualifier. While his performance delighted the crowd, the most moving moment came before the game when Messi received a heartfelt tribute from fans and teammates.
The 38-year-old confirmed after the match that it was his last appearance for Argentina on home soil. With Argentina already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this was the team’s final qualifier at home, making the occasion all the more significant.
In front of nearly 80,000 supporters, Messi’s name echoed through the stadium as fans unveiled a massive banner and applauded his contribution to Argentine football. Overcome by emotion, the two-time Copa América champion was visibly in tears as he prepared to step onto the field.
Messi has not made a definitive statement about his future with the national team beyond the qualifiers, but his words left many believing that his time in Argentina colors is drawing to a close.
