The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and captain of the Argentina national team, Lionel Messi, has spoken about the prospects of participating in the 2030 World Cup. Even as passions are running high at the current tournament, journalists are already trying to peek into the future of this legendary forward.
Details: When asked if he plans to take the field at the 2030 World Cup, Messi responded with utmost restraint and pragmatism.
"I don't know. Honestly, right now I'm not thinking about that at all. It feels a bit far away... But, as I've said before, I live in the moment and I'm fully focused on the present." he said.
It's worth noting that by the time the 2030 World Cup kicks off—set to be hosted across three continents (including opening matches in Messi's native South America)—the Argentine genius will be 43 years old.
Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo refused to answer a question about Messi.
