Messi departs from Argentina after 21 years

Lionel Messi, the Argentine football star, announced his retirement from the national team after a 21-year career during which he achieved numerous titles and accomplishments. This came following Argentina's failure to defend their 2026 World Cup title, losing 0-1 to Spain. It is a decision Messi has considered seriously, despite previously stating that he might retire after losing the Copa America final in 2016; however, he later changed his mind. Messi holds the record for the most international appearances with 207 matches and is the all-time top scorer with 125 goals. He won the 2022 World Cup as well as other titles, including the Copa America, the Youth World Cup, and the Olympics, along with multiple individual awards. He said he has decided to stop playing at the international level because he feels he has nothing more to add to the team and wishes to give opportunities to young players to continue their careers.
