Scaloni wants Messi in the 2026 World Cup: “You have to save a place for him. And that he has the 10 reserved ”

Lionel Messi was finally established with the title that was missing in the showcase: the World Cup. The road was not easy at all, from the criticism of his performance in the Argentine national team compared to his brilliant performances at club level, until the ‘albiceleste’ title drought. However, this afternoon, all criticism and doubts vanished.

In a press conference, Lionel Scaloni did not hide his desire to see Lionel Messi again in a World Cup. “You have to save a place for Messi in the next World Cup. If there are 26, what does he give the most, and he can have the 10 reserved. I think he earned the right to decide what to do with his football career.”

In addition, Scaloni took the opportunity to praise the Argentine star. “He doesn’t have any pending account, if he had any. For me it never had. The truth is that it is a pleasure to have trained him”, concluded the 44-year-old DT.

Although the PSG striker, who is 35 years old, mentioned that he would like to play a few more games with the team as world champions, before Qatar 2022 he slipped the possibility that this would be his last World Cup.
