Following his rumoured resignation plan, Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, on Sunday, has expressed his intention to continue to lead the Argentina team beyond the World Cup campaign.

“I want to keep experiencing a few more matches as world champion,”

Messi made this revelation in a chat with Argentine television following the country’s triumph over France in the World Cup final in Doha.

“Obviously I would like to end my career with this, I cannot ask for more,” said Messi.

The 7-time world best player admitted that he is at the twilight of his career.

“My career is nearly over because these are my last years.”

The ex-Barcelona star said he always believe he would win the prestigious trophy one day.

“It’s crazy that it happened at the time it happened, but it’s amazing,” Messi noted.

“It’s amazing that it could end this way. I said previously that God was going to grant me this and I don’t know why but I felt it was going to be this time.”

Argentina led 2-0 at half-time and went 3-2 up during extra-time but a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick, with two late goals in normal time and another in the extra period, pinned Argentina back, taking the game to penalties.

Messi could not hide his feeling as the 2-0 deficit was overturned by the French in a dramatic manner.

“It was a very strange match, the same as the other one against the Netherlands, and then when we went ahead in extra-time it happened again,” said Messi.

But, he confessed that the World Cup trophy “is beautiful.”
