Lionel Messi is heading into his fifth World Cup with Argentina, but his playing career could soon be coming to an end.
“I don’t think I will play for much longer,” he told Ezequiel Lavezzi, via Connell Edgar-Jones of Barca Universal.
The 35-year-old is amid an outstanding season with Paris Saint-Germain, tallying seven goals with 10 assists in 13 league matches, adding four goals with four assists in Champions League action.
PSG currently sits on top of the Ligue 1 table and has advanced to the Round of 16 in Champions League.
The World Cup will also provide a chance to add to his trophy case after helping Argentina win the Copa América last season. The team was a runner-up at the 2014 World Cup and it’s a top contender to take home the title in Qatar.
