Messi Continues to Reign Supreme in Football Despite MLS Move
Lionel Messi, the legendary Argentine footballer, continues to dominate the sport despite leaving Europe for Inter Miami. In his first full season with the MLS club, Messi has led them to the Supporters Shield, breaking the league’s single-season points record.
Messi’s incredible form has not waned since his departure from Europe. He has scored hat-tricks in his last two matches, one against Bolivia in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and another against New England Revolution in MLS.
Despite leaving European football, Messi’s brilliance has not gone unnoticed. England captain Harry Kane believes that the Argentine is still the best player in the world. “He’s had a fantastic Copa America again and he is still playing at real high level,” Kane said.
Messi, who won the Ballon d’Or last year, failed to make the top 30 shortlist this year. However, his performances have shown that he remains at the pinnacle of the sport.
While Messi acknowledges that he is nearing the end of his career, he has not set a deadline for his retirement. “I didn’t set any date or deadline about my future, I’m just enjoying all this,” he said.
Messi’s current focus is on the Argentina national team, where he is surrounded by younger teammates. “It’s a joy to be present and appreciate this moment,” he said. “As long as I maintain that feeling and can continue contributing to the team, I plan to be here enjoying [the national team].”
