Messi has just confirmed his participation in the 2026 World Cup, when he said: “In principle I think it is impossible. I played my last World Cup in Qatar 2022”.

However, Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni commented: “I think this is just a warning from Messi. He is very honest with his feelings. In fact, Messi will wait and see until then. How the situation will be and based on our feelings, we will make a final decision. We will decide together and it is the right thing to do. There is still a long time ahead.”

“So far, we still have a lot of work to do and there is no point in thinking beyond that. Messi is very simple. Time will pass, we’ll see if he’s okay and if he’s willing or not, that’s what’s important. For me, Messi always knows how to play the best football not only today but also in 10 years, this is very obvious. said coach Lionel Scaloni.

Regarding Messi’s decision to join Inter Miami, Coach Lionel Scaloni shared: “I am very happy that Messi has made the decision to come and play for a club and in a city that will surely treat him wonderfully. Messi stay healthy and happy while playing football, that’s what we all want, no matter the league or the country, it’s also important for Messi to feel that everything is fine and that he will have a chance to have a good time there. That is all that Messi deserves and has achieved”.

Coach Lionel Scaloni also confirmed that, in a friendly match with Australia, the Argentine team will play the strongest squad made up of most of the stars that have won the 2022 World Cup, in which Messi will definitely play head-on. After this match, Messi will be able to leave the team for the summer vacation and will not go to Jakarta for the next friendly match against the Indonesian national team on June 19.
