Messi: I value happiness over reaching 2026 WC
Briefly

Despite his remarkable achievements, Lionel Messi emphasizes the importance of enjoying the present rather than fixating on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, prioritizing happiness and health.
"I don't like to accelerate time or look ahead. I try to enjoy every day. I hope I can keep playing at this level to feel good and be happy."
Messi reflects, "When I get to do what I love I am happy. I value that more than reaching the 2026 tournament. I haven't set a goal to reach the World Cup..."
Reflecting on his move to Inter Miami, Messi remarked, "The step I took to come here didn't mean retiring; we came here to try and keep making history."
