FIFA 2022 To Be Messi's Last
Messi In front of a large crowd at Qatar’s Lusail Stadium, Messi put on a performance that many considered to be his greatest in recent memory. This will be Messi’s final opportunity to win the World Cup before he hangs up his boots. He had lost to Germany in Brazil in 2014 and come in second place.
On December 13, 2022, at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, north of Doha, Argentina forward Lionel Messi celebrates after the conclusion of the Argentina vs. Croatia World Cup football semi-final game.
Following the FIFA World Cup 2022 championship on December 18, Lionel Messi announced his retirement.
The Argentine captain said that the summit match would be his final in the sky and white stripes after scoring from the penalty spot and contributing equally to Julian Alvarez’s other two goals against Croatia to advance his nation to the final.

Messi told the Argentine media
“I feel extremely thrilled to be able to do this, to complete my World Cup trip by playing my last game in a final.”
“The next one is many years away, and I doubt I’ll be able to complete it. And this is the finest way to end “said the captain of Argentina.
In addition to Diego Maradona and Javier Mascherano, the 35-year-old is competing in his sixth World Cup.
As the leading goal scorer for the Albiceleste in World Cups with 11 goals, he also surpassed Gabriel Batistuta with his fifth goal in Qatar.
Many people hailed the PSG forward’s performance as his finest in recent memory as he dazzled the packed stadium at Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Before hanging up his boots, Messi will have one more chance to win the World Cup. After falling to Germany in Brazil in 2014, he finished as a close second.
The ability to accomplish the collective goal—which is the most lovely thing of all—is more essential than being able to break records, according to Messi. Having fought hard, we are now just one step away, and we will do all in our power to make it happen this time.
To commemorate Argentina’s sixth participation in the World Cup final and the team’s triumph on Tuesday, tens of thousands of fans flooded the country’s streets.
France, group D’s winner, or either group F’s winner, Morocco, will play either 2018 champion Argentina in the championship game.
