- Messi shared a cryptic social media post
- Cast doubt on his future in international football
- Scored twice against Venezuela
After starring for the reigning world champions in their penultimate كأس العالم qualifier, Messi had been ambiguous about his participation in the 2026 World Cup, set to be staged across the متحد الدول، المكسيك، و كندا, as he avoided giving a clear answer on whether he will defend the crown he lifted in Qatar three years back.
Now, with a fresh social media post, where he emotionally addressed his fans, the انتر Miami star cast further doubt on his future with the وطني team as he once again hinted that his participation at the World Cup in North America is not guaranteed. The 38-year-old has also decided to skip الأرجنتين‘s last qualifying game against الإكوادور next week, as he wants to remain fit for his club.
On Instagram, Messi wrote: “A very special night that still leaves me speechless of the emotion. Heartfelt thanks to all the people for the love and for always supporting us. Whatever happens and whatever the future holds, only God knows.. LETS GO ARGENTINA!”
Messi will be back in action for Inter Miami in MLS on September 14 as they take on Charlotte in a crucial fixture. It remains to be seen when he will make a final decision on his involvement at the World Cup.
