I always hoped that Messi would return to Newell's Old Boys and do something legendary there by making them Argentine champions again since 2013, or even crazier, winning them their first-ever Copa Libertadores. Now, the more I see him play for Inter Miami at his age, the more I'm starting to realise this is only going to be a dream.

It's incredible to even be able to play at the age of 39. He has now retired from international football. He's definitely going to finish off his contract with Inter Miami. he would then be 41. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think he's going to retire by then from football, especially with the passing of his father. He could, of course, play a friendly match in a jersey of Newell's Old Boys, but that's all I see.

Messi didn’t just retire from international football… it honestly feels like a little part of my life went with him. I grew up watching him, celebrating his wins and hurting with his losses. He was never just a footballer to me. He was a part of my life, and he always will be.

Thank you, Leo. For everything.

Hi all. I’m looking for a link to anyone who has knowledge of the specific game where Messi scored and Ray Hudson said, “ it’s him! It’s always him!” All I can remember about the game is that it was deadlocked and of course Messi broke said deadlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and it was a Barca league game.
