Angel Di Maria insists Lionel Messi must participate in the 2026 World Cup despite concerns about his injuries. Messi has proven his worth, leading Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup and consecutive Copa America titles. Turning 39 during the tournament, his reliability has been questioned. Di Maria emphasizes Messi's impact on the national team and fans’ excitement, comparing him to Diego Maradona. Messi continues to excel in MLS, leading in goals, and recently achieved 875 career goals, making him the youngest player to reach this milestone.
"Yes, yes. No matter what shape he's in, no matter what happens, Leo has to play in the World Cup, no matter what."
"It's them, and there's no one else. They're from another planet; they're not from here. We have to keep enjoying it, and hopefully it'll be in the best shape possible."
