The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will feature in his sixth World Cup this time around!
Despite the fact that his captain isn’t “fully fit,” Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni included Lionel Messi in his 2026 World Cup roster.
Naturally, neither of the revelations came as a huge surprise. Messi’s participation in the Albiceleste’s title defence was widely anticipated, even though it was never likely that he would have been in top physical shape.
It was scarcely surprising to hear via Inter Miami that Messi is currently experiencing “overload associated with muscle fatigue in his left hamstring”, given that he is 38 years old and will turn 39 later this month. For over 20 years, that specific muscle has been subjected to extreme strain.
Lionel Messi, who established his reputation on this platform with two goals against France in the 2022 final, will participate in his sixth World Cup. With 7g/3a, he was named the tournament’s Golden Ball winner and helped Argentina win their third World Cup victory.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has produced 13 goals and 8 assists while playing in a record 26 World Cup games. He needs three more goals to equal Miroslav Klose’s record of 16 World Cup goals.
Who will be Lionel Messi’s roommate during the FIFA World Cup 2026?
Lionel Messi will be staying alone in his hotel room (202) for the 2026 World Cup, so he doesn’t have a roommate. Since Sergio Agüero, his long-time roommate and close friend, retired, he has consistently done this for major competitions.
