This may be my last chance; This is what I see in the 2014 team: Lionel Messi
Argentina legend Lionel Messi revealed once again that Qatar could be his last World Cup. The star was speaking at a press conference ahead of Tuesday’s match against Saudi Arabia in the Qatar World Cup.
“I have done my best for this tournament as I have done throughout my career. But nothing has been done specifically for this World Cup. But I came to Qatar happy physically and mentally.

This is a special moment. This will probably be my last World Cup. This is my last chance to make my dream come true, and make our dream come true,” said Messi.
Messi said he has faith in the current squad and sees this team as a killer reminiscent of the 2014 World Cup squad.
“This squad reminds me of the 2014 team, which was a very strong team.
We were in good harmony and we knew what to do in every game
All had clarity. The good form of the team at the moment gives us a lot of confidence,’ said Messi.

It’s nice that many non-Argentinians want Argentina to win the World Cup because of it. Messi added that he was grateful for that.
Meanwhile, Qatar is the fifth World Cup in Messi’s career. Messi is the youngest player to play in five World Cups and the player with the most World Cup appearances for Argentina.
