Argentina football legend Lionel Messi has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 39.
The announcement brings an end to Messi’s illustrious career with the Argentine national team, where he established himself as one of the greatest players in football history.
Messi’s international career was highlighted by major successes, including Argentina’s triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and Copa América titles.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner leaves the international stage after years of representing Argentina and becoming the country’s all-time leading goalscorer.
However, Messi’s retirement from international football does not mark the end of his professional playing career, as he is expected to continue his club career with Inter Miami.
