“If Messi wants to keep playing for the national team, the number 10 will always be his” – Scaloni
Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has said that the number 10 in the national team will belong to Lionel Messi if he wants to continue to play for it.
On Sunday, December 18, in the final match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Argentina beat France 3-3 (4-2 on pens). During the match, Messi scored two goals (one from the penalty spot) and converted a penalty kick after the match. After the final, the 35-year-old Messi said that he had no plans to complete his performances in the national team.
Messi should get a place at the next World Cup. If he wants to keep playing, the number “10” will always be his, – Scaloni quotes Goal.com.
For the Argentina national team, this is the third gold medal of the world championship. The team has previously won in 1978 and 1986.
