The leader of the Argentine national team Lionel Messi spoke about his future plans.

According to the forward, the World Cup starting in November will be his last.

"Will this be the last such tournament in my career? Yes, of course, it will be.

Now I am counting the days left until the World Cup. I feel a little nervous and anxious.

I wish the football fiesta would start now. Yes, on one hand, we can't wait for the championship, but on the other hand, it's a bit scary because we want Argentina to perform the best," clarified the 35-year-old player.
