10 years ago, Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international football, with his only honour being a 2008 Olympics gold medal, a decision that came following Argentina's 2016 Copa America final defeat to Chile 😳👇

Since then he has of course returned from retirement and he seems to have had a midas touch ever since 😮‍💨🏆

🇦🇷 2021 Copa America
🇦🇷 2022 World Cup
🇦🇷 2022 Finalissima
🇦🇷 2024 Copa America 

A legendary international career that COULD have ended with a single medal, has instead become something truly iconic, with Messi heading for a record sixth World Cup finals appearance 🫡🐐
