Lionel Messi, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has always been an enigma to the football world. His talent on the pitch is undeniable, but his personal life has been shrouded in mystery.
However, in a recent interview with InfoBae, Messi shed some light on how winning the World Cup with Argentina has changed him and his outlook on his club future with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
For years, Messi had been chasing the elusive World Cup trophy with Argentina. Despite winning numerous club titles with
Barcelona, the national team trophy had always eluded him. But in November 2022, Argentina won the World Cup for the first time since 1986, and Messi finally achieved his dream. He revealed in the interview, “From that day everything changed for me. Now we can say it.”
Many fans have speculated that winning the World Cup may have taken away some of Messi’s drive and ambition at the club level, which has been reflected in his recent actions.
In particular, his recent trip to Saudi Arabia without approval from the club has raised eyebrows and resulted in a heavy fine and a suspension.
Will Messi ditch PSG?
Some believe that Messi’s focus may have shifted away from PSG, and that he may no longer feel the same level of importance towards matters at the club.
However, Messi’s statement in the interview suggests that winning the World Cup has given him a renewed sense of purpose and meaning.
The national team has always held a special place in his heart, and the victory has only cemented that feeling.
He also stated, “I always thank God. I knew he was going to give me a World Cup, I don’t know, I felt it.” It is clear that the World Cup win has had a profound impact on Messi, and that it has affected his priorities and decisions going forward.
Despite the speculation and criticism that Messi has faced in recent weeks, it is important to remember that he is still one of the best footballers in the world.
His talent and dedication to the sport are undeniable, and his passion for the national team has only been strengthened by their recent triumph.
As for his future with PSG, only time will tell what decisions Messi will make. But one thing is certain – Messi will always be remembered as one of the greatest footballers of all time, no matter where his career takes him.
