Just days before the World Cup, Messi's former teammate who is retiring from football

On a quiet day and 50 days before the World Cup, a very important Argentine player in the history of the National Team Argentina announced in a press conference that it will stop the activity when the season ends. This caused a lot of surprise since he had been showing great physical shape and performance on the court.

He was not the most beloved player in Argentina's history, and was criticized for failing at important moments, such as the 2014 World Cup final or a Copa America final against Chile. However, the striker has had a brilliant career as a footballer.
