Spain Coach: 39-Year-Old Messi Playing with Teen-Level Energy
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente praised Lionel Messi’s physical output ahead of his World Cup quarter-final clash with Belgium. He said Messi looks like he’s in his teens and highlighted the veteran’s tireless commitment on the pitch. The Argentina captain leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals. De la Fuente noted Messi’s relentless drive and role-model attitude, matching the peak performances of much younger stars like Mbappé and Haaland. Spain face Belgium in Los Angeles, while Argentina meet Switzerland in Kansas City. If both sides advance, a Spain-vs-Argentina final could be on the cards.
