""Being able to finish this way here is what I've always dreamed of. I've experienced a lot of things on this pitch, both good and not so good, but it's always a joy to play in Argentina, in front of our fans.""
""Same as I said before about the World Cup that I don't think I'll play another. Because of my age, the most logical thing is that I won't make it. But well, we're almost there so I'm excited and motivated to play it. Like I always say, I go day by day, match by match. That's it, taking it day by day, going by how I feel. Day by day, trying to feel good and above all, being honest with myself. When I feel good, I enjoy it, but when I don't, honestly, I don't have a good time, so I prefer not to be there if I don't feel good. So we'll see. I haven't made a decision about the World Cup. Match by match, I'll finish the season, then I'll have preseason, and there will be six months left. So we'll see how I feel. Hopefully I'll have a good preseason in 2026""
Lionel Messi scored two goals in Argentina's 3-0 victory over Venezuela in Buenos Aires, with Lautaro Martinez adding a goal in the 76th minute. The match likely served as Messi's final appearance for Argentina in his homeland, marking his 194th cap and an emotional home swansong. Messi expressed joy at finishing in front of Argentine fans and emphasized that future international participation will depend on physical fitness and how he feels day by day. Messi remains undecided about the 2026 World Cup, noting that age and preparation will determine whether he participates.
