Although the Argentine sports sensation and Paris Saint-Germain attacker is highly passionate about soccer, he told TyC Sports that every time he is on the field, he has his family in mind.

“After winning the Copa América, I thought about them. I knew the happiness they felt at that moment, just as I experienced it and transmitted it. I continue to play for them, my children, my wife,” he said.

After the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament, Messi might hang his white and blue t-shirt, as he is, to date, the oldest player in FIFA World Cup to make history since 1966.

According to Opta (via PSGTalk), the 35-year-old forward matched the late Diego Maradona’s stats.
