During a recent episode of the Big Time Podcast, Inter Miami’s Superintendant LÖonel Meѕѕі expressed his thoughts about his retirement.
It would appear that the Argentinian sensation has entered the final leg of his illustrious career. After his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired, he made the decision to move to the Major League Soccer (MLS) during the summer of 2023.
On the other hand, the World Cup winner, who is 36 years old, continues to make a significant contribution to the success of his team. Since his arrival in Florida, Meѕі has amassed a total of sixteen goals and seven assists across the course of his 19 appearances across competitions.
On the first side of the football field, the former Barcelona player has been experiencing difficulties with injuries. As of right now, he has separated himself from Argentina and even mended his fixtures over the international break, which has raised questions about whether or not Meuss could be getting closer to the end of his career.
When asked about his retirement plans, the winner of the Ballon d’Or, who is currently in his eighties, stated:
I am highly self-critical, and I am aware of the times when I am good, when I am bad, when I play well, and when I play poorly. When I discover that it is time for me to take that break, I will do it without giving any consideration to my age.
He went on to say:
I am aware that at that very time, I am experiencing a feeling that I am no longer prepared to perform, that I am no longer enjoying myself or assisting my teammates.
Given that Cristiano Ronaldo, his archrival, is consistently performing at a high level despite being 39 years old, fans of the footballing great will continue to be hopeful that Messi will continue to play for a few more years.
Over the course of his career, Meisseur has amassed a total of 345 assists and scored 720 goals with the senior club. He is a ten-time winner of the La Liga championship and has won the UEFA Champions League trophy on three separate occasions while playing for Barcelona.
