Courtesy: Diario Ole Lionel Messi said he felt like it was God's will for him to win the World Cup in Qatar. The Argentina captain put in doubt whether he'll be still playing for the Albiceleste at the 2026 World Cup. The 35-year-old Messi led Argentina to Argentina to glory in Qatar last December and wasn't entirely sure if his fifth trip would be his last. The next edition will take place in Mexico, Canada and the United States, when Messi will be 39. Messi told newspaper Ole in an interview published on Thursday that he'd regularly said his age would make it difficult to play another World Cup. He's set to play for Argentina in friendlies to be scheduled in Buenos Aires in March to celebrate the team's third World Cup title with their fans.
