When is Messi retiring from Barcelona?

Lionel Messi is the name of one of the best soccer players in the world and in history. The records he broke, his quality on the field and the titles he won make him a gifted player who unfortunately is living his last years at a professional level, because just on the day he won his sixth Ballon d'Or he made it clear that his retirement is closer every day.

We are talking about someone whose name alone brings to mind all his dribbles, his goals from free kicks or those in which he beat the goalkeeper with a pumped shot. And how can we forget the hip-breaker he caused to great players. Now, at 34 years of age, Lionel Messi is close to hanging up his boots, but until what age does he plan to play at the highest level?

If we stick to the statements made by the Argentine star, which left the whole soccer world cold, we must be aware that the news will come at any moment. "I'm going to stretch it as long as I can, it's true. To me soccer, since I was born, is the only thing I always knew how to do and it drove me crazy, the ball. i enjoy it to this day, "said the striker at the Ballon d'Or gala last December 2, 2019. It should also be said that throughout his entire career,  has never suffered a serious injury that would cause him to suffer from muscular ailments.

Soccer is very close to losing one of the best players in history. Lionel Messi is the name of one of the best soccer players in the world and in history.

The Argentine is compared to the best. For example, in the case of Pelé and Cruyff, both hung up their boots at the age of 37, while the unforgettable Diego Maradona said goodbye to the courts just before reaching 37 springs. Other greats like Di Stéfano extended his career until he was almost 40 years old. One of the few who said goodbye at an early age was Zinedine Zidane, who left professional soccer for good at 34, just after the 2006 World Cup

It should also be noted that Lionel Messi has his sights set on returning to Newell's Old Boys, the club where he grew up, so for the time being we can sleep easy knowing that Pulga will be around for a few more years. But we must enjoy it because time flies. And when that day comes, we will have to go to all the amateur fields of Barcelona and Argentina, because surely in one of them we will see the great Lionel Messi doing magic with the ball and with that smile that characterizes him so much. "When I leave this I will continue playing with my friends, with my children or elsewhere. I will continue to enjoy it in another way".
