THE END OF AN ERA. 🇦🇷💔
Lionel Messi has officially announced his retirement from international football with Argentina, bringing an extraordinary 21-year journey with the national team to an emotional close.
From heartbreaking defeats to unforgettable victories, Messi's Argentina story became one of the greatest chapters in football history.
🏆 2022 FIFA World Cup Champion
🏆 2021 & 2024 Copa América Champion
⚽ 207 Argentina appearances
⚽ 125 international goals
After Argentina's heartbreaking defeat to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, Messi decided that it was time to close the international chapter of his career. He also said he believes the time has come to make room for the next generation.
But this is NOT necessarily the end of Messi in football — he continues to play club football with Inter Miami.
