00:00MESI ON THE TOP, MESI ON THE GOAL

00:03Anywhere on the planet, no matter what language you speak, one word means great.

00:09MESI!

00:11Just three years ago, Lionel Messi held the trophy for Argentina,

00:16leading his home country to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

00:21That moment, and this image, becoming one of the most liked photos on Instagram,

00:26with more than 74 million likes.

00:29He is the biggest soccer star in the world, but rarely gives interviews.

00:34Pleasure to meet you.

00:35How are you?

00:35All right?

00:36Sitting down with us, because he may be getting ready to surprise the world.

00:40Take me back when you won in 2022 and you held that trophy up

00:44and you were on the shoulders of your teammates.

00:46What was going through your mind?

00:47When you won the World Cup, what was going through your mind?

00:51What I was thinking about and what I was going through to achieve that.

00:54Well, everything I went through and everything I did to achieve that,

00:57it was the dream of my life.

00:59And it all came to mind, everything I went through to get there.

01:02My family, my people, and Argentina.

01:07Messi, who grew up in Rosario, Argentina, was a soccer prodigy,

01:11recruited to play in Spain as a teenager, dominating for decades,

01:16playing professionally with teams in Barcelona and Paris.

01:19The best number 10 in the world, Lionel Andres, Messi.

01:25Then, in 2023, he made a bold move to America, similar to another star of the sport,

01:32David Beckham, who helped bring Messi to the States on the team Beckham co-owned,

01:38inner Miami.

01:38His first game, selling out, and ending with this epic goal.

01:45Messi winning it all in the final minutes.

01:48Messi!

01:51Do you believe in signs?

01:53Do you think that was a sign?

01:54Well, I'm of the belief that God always decides and does everything.

01:59And at that moment, he had that prepared for me.

02:03And now, with his team in the MLS playoffs,

02:06Messi deciding to extend his contract, telling us first why.

02:11Was it a tough decision to make to say yes?

02:13Honestly, it wasn't.

02:18I've always said that I base my decision on how I feel day to day,

02:21and how I feel physically and mentally,

02:23to continue playing and to continue being part of this club.

02:26And he still has some unfinished business.

02:30What's tougher, winning a World Cup,

02:31or getting soccer to be one of the largest, most premier sports in the United States?

02:39Well, I think that growing soccer in the United States is possible.

02:42I think it's time to do it.

02:45And soccer will get its biggest opportunity in front of an American audience next summer,

02:51when the World Cup comes to North America.

02:54I think the United States is going to be spectacular.

02:58It sounds like something the greatest player in the world would not want to miss.

03:02Are you going to play in the World Cup?

03:04Well, the truth is that yes,

03:09it's something extraordinary to be able to be in a World Cup.

03:12And I would like to be there,

03:14to feel well and to be an important part of helping my national team if I am there.

03:19And I'm going to assess that on a day-to-day basis

03:21when I start pre-season next year with Inter

03:23and see if I can really be 100%.

03:26I'm really eager because it's a World Cup.

03:29We're coming off winning the last World Cup,

03:30and being able to defend it on the field again is spectacular

03:34because it's always a dream to play with the national team,

03:37especially in official competitions.

03:39So hopefully God will allow me to do it once again.

03:42We thank you for watching.
