Lionel Messi: “I will stop from football when I cannot perform”

He continues his career in Inter Miami, but remains active in the Argentine National, with him not yet showing ready for thoughts… of retiring from football. At 36 years old, Messi has conquered everything in his career, but continues to have fun from football and thus does not yet consider his end from active action, as he also stated in an interview with the podcast “Big Time”. Messi’s statements on the departure from Barcelona: “The change was difficult when I went to Paris Saint Germaine, because I was doing very well in Barcelona and planning to stay there. I wasn’t ready to leave, it all happened very quickly, I had to rebuild my life from day to day. I met another league, another club, new locker room. It was a change that we were not looking for, and that was why it was difficult at first.” For his acquisition by Barcelona as a child: “For me it was difficult when I arrived in Barcelona. I was a kid and had to adapt to new friends, new country, new city, new people, new school. It was hard for me at first, but I thought I did what I wanted, playing football, on a big team like Barcelona and that made me move forward, it was impressive and I enjoyed it very much. They always treated me very well in Barcelona, I am grateful to them.” — M10GOATMedia (@M10GOATMedia) For Inter Miami and the end of his career: “I know that the moment I feel that I am no longer able to perform, that I am no longer having fun or helping my teammates, I will stop. I’m very judgmental of myself, I know when I’m good, when I’m bad, when I’m playing good and when I’m bad. When I feel like it’s time to take this step, I’ll do it without thinking about age. If I feel good, I will try to keep fighting because that’s what I like and that’s what I know how to do.” For his football course and the future: “I haven’t thought about what I’ll do when I retire, today I try to enjoy the day by day, the moments, without thinking about the further. I have nothing clear yet, I hope to continue playing for a while. When the time comes I will surely find the way to what pleases me and I like a new role. At the athletic level I was lucky to be able to make all my dreams come true and the truth is I couldn’t ask for more. Thank God he gave me so much on a professional and human level, as well as with my family, my friends.” For the Argentine National: “Being world champions for us, our families and the whole country was magical, will stay with us for life. I certainly would have left the National if we hadn’t become champions, but fortunately we gave another title to Argentina.”
