Lionel Messi's Sixth World Cup
Lionel Messi, now 38, is set to play in his sixth World Cup after leading Argentina to victory in Qatar four years ago. Despite concerns over his fitness, manager Lionel Scaloni has managed the Inter Miami star's workload carefully. Messi has been training with the group and is progressing well, giving the team confidence ahead of the tournament.
Argentina have been dominant in recent years, winning the 2022 World Cup and two Copa America titles. The core of that squad, including Messi, remains intact. Scaloni has expressed calmness after Messi confirmed he would wait to be called up, rather than making any announcements about his future.
