After a victory lionel messi announces his retirement

After Argentina’s loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final in 2016, Lionel Messi surprised the world by announcing his retirement from international football. He later came back, but Argentina is now in an even worse situation than before and is trying to make the 2018 World Cup. If Argentina’s loss to Chile did not kill a weak fan from the nation, Lionel Messi’s eloquent statement, “The team has ended for me, a decision made,” undoubtedly did. A year ago today, on June 27, 2016, Messi, then just 29 years old, made the decision to retire from football and put his Argentina armband, shirt, and boots away.
