Scaloni: Only Messi Decides If This World Cup Will Be His Last
Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has dismissed rumours about Cristiano Messi’s international retirement, saying only the captain himself knows what comes next after Sunday’s final against Spain. Messi has been in sensational form, netting eight goals and laying on four assists to share the Golden Boot lead with France’s Kylian Mbappé. His match-winning influence was clear in the 2-1 semi-final victory over England. Speaking at a press conference in New York City, Scaloni laughed off questions on Messi’s future: “Ask him. I don’t have the faintest idea. He doesn’t stop surprising us.” He also hailed his squad’s remarkable journey and achievements that once seemed unimaginable. With a World Cup title on the line, all eyes will be on Messi as he leads Argentina against Spain and potentially decides whether to hang up his international boots.
