"Being able to finish in this way here is what I always dreamed of,"
"We'll see. I haven't made a decision about the World Cup."
"I'll finish the season then I'll have pre-season, and there will be six months left. So we'll see how I feel."
"I've done all I can. It hurts not to be a champion."
Lionel Messi scored twice as Argentina beat Venezuela 3-0 at Estadio Monumental on 5 September and appeared emotional, suggesting the match could be his final competitive appearance on home soil. He entered the game to a standing ovation from 80,000 and was joined by his three sons before kick-off. Messi said he has not decided whether he will play at the 2026 World Cup and will assess how he feels after the season and pre-season. Messi has 114 goals in 194 games, captained Argentina to the 2022 World Cup, and has eight Ballon d'Or awards.
