Messi says he’s not retiring from international football yet

It’s great good news for Lionel Messi lovers and Argentine fans across the world that he’s not ready to walk away from Argentina national team yet, despite achieving the long-awaited world cup champion trophy on Sunday night.

Arguably soccer’s greatest of all time secured the one major trophy that has eluded him in his storied career as Argentina beat France 4-2 on penalties in the final at Lusail Stadium on Sunday.

"I want to play a few more games as a world champion. I was lucky to clinch every title in my career; this was the only one missing. I want to take this one there (to Argentina) and enjoy it with everybody else," said Messi after scoring twice in the final.

This was his second Golden Ball award, after winning the first eight years ago at Brazil in 2014, when Argentina were edged 1-0 by Germany in the final.
