<h2>Lionel Messi on Argentina future</h2>
”Will I continue in Argentina after the World Cup? I feel very well physically at the moment. Better than last year when I arrived at PSG. When I said a few days ago that this is my last World Cup, I did it because of a logical age issue. But after it’s over we’ll see…” Messi stated to DirecTV.

<h2>Messi’s 1,000th game could be the World Cup final in Qatar 2022</h2>
Lionel Messi has currently played 988 games in his career when considering league and international competitions at club level and his 114 caps for Argentina. In order for Messi to reach 1,000 career games by the final in Qatar 2022 the following must occur:

Lionel Messi would have to play 5 of the remaining 6 games PSG has before the World Cup. It has been reported Messi will rest 1 game prior to the tournament in Qatar. Once at the World Cup if Argentina gets to the final, he will reach 1,000 career games.
Still Messi could reach 1,000 games playing in the third-place match as well, but he would need to play 5 of PSG’s games and hope for a semifinal run with Argentina.

Therefore, he was not even considered for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Karim-Benzema-wins-the-2022-Ballon-dOr-20221017-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 Ballon d’Or</a> ceremony.
The prestigious award given by France Football has changed its criteria for this edition, taking into account the club season rather than the calendar year. Consequently, Messi was not even part of the 30-player shortlist.
Of course, such a decision sparked controversy as we’re talking about one of the world’s bestand also winningest Ballon d’Or player. The news may have not sit well with Messi at first, butnot winning this yearcould end up beingbetter for him and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-neither-messis-argentina-nor-ronaldos-portugal-google-predicts-world-cup-final-20220926-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a>.
<h2>Lionel Messi avoids Ballon d’Or ‘curse’ ahead of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup</h2>
Unsurprisingly, Karim Benzema emerged victorious in the 2022 Ballon d’Or gala following a fantastic season in which he helped Real Madrid win the LaLiga and UEFA Champions League titles. But there’s a fact that could worry the French community.
Asstats expert MisterChip noted on Twitter, the reigning Ballon d’Or winner has never won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/fifa-world-cup-30-amazing-records-and-stats-to-keep-in-mind-for-qatar-2022-q22-20220908-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup</a>. Benzemaheads into Qatar 2022 aiming to help France secure consecutive titles, but he would need to break the ‘curse’ to make it happen.
On the other hand, this only fuels Argentina’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-on-argentina-prior-to-world-cup-other-teams-are-above-us-20221006-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup aspirations</a>. La Albiceleste arrive at the competition in high spirits, having won theCopa America last year and punching a ticket to Qatar without losing a single game.
Messi has recently revealed this will surely be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-confirms-he-will-not-play-the-2026-fifa-world-cup--20221006-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last World Cup</a> in his career. It won’t be easy, but the expectations around Argentina are through the roof. Will he finally win the elusive title in Qatar?

It is expected that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-argentine-star-thinks-mexico-never-played-in-a-fifa-world-cup-20221014-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a>, who are now 35 games undefeated, and the Paris Saint-German’s ace would make a great showing in the Middle East.After La Albiceleste’s heartbreaking loss to Germany in the 2014 World Cup Final, the forward has said that this year’s tournament would be his fifth and last opportunity to lead his nation to their first World Cup victory since 1986.
<blockquote>
“If it is my last World Cup? Yes, surely yes, surely yes. I feel good physically, I can have a very good pre-season this year that I hadn’t done the year before because of how everything went, I started training late, playing without rhythm, with the tournament already started, then I went to the national team, when I came back I had an injury and I never finished starting,” he toldStar+ at the beginning of October.

The veteranis hoping to make his comeback to the PSG squad for Sunday’s Classique match against Marseille after sitting out the team’s last two games with a calf injury.
<blockquote>
When interviewed by DirecTV Sports, Leosaid: “Injuries are a worry. This is a different World Cup which is played at a different time of the year to previous tournaments and it is so imminent any little thing that happens to you can force you out. With what happened to Dybala and Di Maria, the truth is that personally you worry and you’re more afraid when you see those sort of things.”

Despite Barcelona scored first, it was an absolut rollercoaster of emotions for them. They went down 2-3 with a few minutes left, but a late goal by Robert Lewandowski gave them the final equalizer.
Lautaro Martinez was a key piece for Inter in this game. He scored and assisted once and celebrated in front of all the Blaugranas.

This has led to rumors that he may return to Barcelona on a free transfer in the next season, and the recent comments by the Blaugrana president Joan Laportahave only added fuel to the prospect of this occurring.While the star has claimed he won’t make a decision until after the World Cup next month, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-to-come-back-to-barcelona-under-one-condition-20220928-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavi Hernandez</a>‘s side arereportedly thrilled at the prospect of bringing him home.
In addition, it is quite evident that the French championswant the veteranto remain, but the approach used by Barcelona and the personal communication of the Spaniardfollowing the showcase event in Qatar might be the deciding factors. It has been said that Xavi is looking forward to working withhis old buddy and ex-colleague.
<h2>WhyLionel Messi could opt to stay at PSG and not return to Barcelona</h2>
Now,Spanish journalist Mario Cortegana of Marca says that the situationregarding Lionel Messi’s potential comeback to Barcelona iscomplex. Unlike the last term, the 35-year-old seems to have found a home at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-sneaky-plan-for-psg-to-hurt-barcelona-20220929-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Saint-Germain</a> this season,nettingeight goals and assistingon eight more this season.
With the Argentine forward finally said to be happy in France,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kylian-mbappe-wants-out-of-psg-in-january-according-to-report-20221011-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylian Mbappe</a> wants to quit the Parisians becauseMessi is more influential than he is inside the team’s locker room. Despite their apparent ability to collaborate on the field, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mbappe-and-neymar-stay-together-at-psg-for-one-reason-only-20220930-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mbappe-Neymar-Messi trio</a>has had some trouble getting along in the locker room.
There is a lack of communication and a general air of coldness. In fact, the Frenchman’s entourage believes that only two of the three can play at once, and therefore Leo should start.
Although the 23-year-old is much more strategic and politically astute than the majority of players, he is also being portrayed by some as an egotistical superstar. With Messi holding greater power at the club now, and while it’s true that his deal with PSG will run out next summer, he may choose to remain there instead of returning to Barcelona.

The possibility of playing alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/haaland-surpasses-messis-previous-mark-under-guardiolas-leadership-20221009-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> is one of the greatest opportunities in soccer. He has a true talentand his knowledge helps his teammates to improve by their own.
Nowadays, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-or-ronaldo-who-has-had-better-career-as-per-retired-legends-20221008-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> is playing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-lionel-messi-could-be-returning-to-barcelona-20221004-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Saint-Germain</a> after a successful run with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-or-erling-haaland-pep-guardiola-narrows-down-the-difference-between-them-20221003-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FC Barcelona</a>. He does not have a Mexican teammate at France, but this could change soon and a future gem could partner up with one of the greatest soccer players of all time.
<h2>Diego Lainez could join Lionel Messi in PSG thanks to a business related move</h2>
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-on-one-of-the-things-he-hates-the-most-20221007-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Saint-Germain</a> has one of the best squads in soccer nowadays. They have lots of stars from different nationalities, but they do not have a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-which-is-the-best-starting-xi-of-Mexico-for-the-fifa-world-cup-20220718-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican </a>playing for them… yet.
Currently, Diego Lainez, Mexican forward, plays for Sporting Braga. He was signed by the Portuguese club for the 2022-23 season and is set to be one of the future stars in the soccer world, so they want him to grow in order to sell him soon.
Even though he has just arrived to Portugal, things could change soon. Mexico has high hopes with Diego Lainez and everyone wants him to improve so he can play in one of the top clubs in the world, with PSG being a possible suitor.
Recently,Qatar Sports Investments acquired a minor part(21.67%) ofSporting Clube Braga. This company also owns <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-on-argentina-prior-to-world-cup-other-teams-are-above-us-20221006-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a>, so it is set that both clubs will make more business between them with their players.
This possible move could meanthe fourth time a Mexican player partners up with Messi. Previously, Giovani and Jonathan dos Santos joined the Argentinian stricker in Barcelona, but for a brief time. Rafael Marquez, legendary center back, won tons of titles alongside Lionel also with the Spanish team.
Diego Lainez plays as a right wing, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-confirms-he-will-not-play-the-2026-fifa-world-cup--20221006-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Messi’s </a>same position. He is also a left-footed player and has been compared multiple times with the Argentinian, so a possible move to PSG could help him to follow Lionel’s steps and become his heir.
