“You will always be the best, @leomessi. Not just because of your talent, but because you have never stopped being yourself. Because no matter what happens, you never give up; you always fight to the very end and give it your all until the final second,” the caption read in Spanish.
“That strength, that mindset, and the way you pick yourself up time and time again are what make you unique. 🤍 Thank you for showing us every day that true success is built through hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance—without ever losing sight of who you really are.

Messi seemingly hasn’t made a decision about his international future. But given his age, the fact that he’ll be 43 during the next World Cup, and how emotional he was after losing to Spain on Sunday has many believing that match will be the last time he wears an Argentina jersey on the field.
