Messi also expressed: “I do not set any final match date for the team. I just want to enjoy and feel everyone’s love, because I know that every match now can be the last match. For now, I want to end the year (2024) well and witness the step-by-step progress of the current team.”

In another interview, also after Argentina’s win over Bolivia, a reporter asked: “People here and all over the world love you so much, when you play for the national team. So, stay until the 2026 World Cup.”

“He’s a great guy. Nico Paz is developing very well, and under the guidance of a coach I know very well (Cesc Fabregas at Como in Italy, Messi’s former teammate and close friend when they played together at Barcelona). Despite his age, Nico Paz had an impressive debut. I hope he continues to develop and always plays well when he returns to the national team,” Messi said.

Meanwhile, Messi also regretted another young player on the rise of the Argentina team, striker Valentin Carboni (19 years old) who suffered a serious injury and will be out for the rest of the season: “This is unfortunate, Carboni is developing very well, but has to take a long-term break. We send all our support to him, and hope Carboni will return soon. As said, the opportunity has opened up for Nico Paz. But in the long run, they will be important players in the future of the Argentina team.”
