Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 16:56

Lionel Messi officially announced the end of his career with the Argentine national team. The thirty-seven-year-old forward made this decision moments after his father, Jorge Messi, passed away.

Jorge Messi's death reportedly led the former Barcelona player to deeply reconsider his sporting future, resulting in this decision to leave the national team.

Messi leaves behind an exceptional international career, having been a world champion in 2022 with Argentina, among numerous other titles won in service of the country.
