As the start of the World Cup approaches, Lionel Messi continues in the same style. For him, Argentina is not in the narrowest circle of candidates for winning the title. The Paris Saint-Germain ace persistently singles out other selections when talking about favorites, while keeping the Gauchos in the background. Maybe he doesn’t want to ‘spoil’ his country’s chances, maybe he doesn’t want to put pressure on himself and his teammates… The fact is that this is Messi’s last chance to win the most valuable football trophy, the only one missing in his career. He already confirmed this month that this will be his last World Cup.’This will be my last World Cup, Argentina is not the favorite’But he claims that he “sees” the other two national teams in the final.”When we talk about favourites, we have big teams like Brazil, Germany, France, England, Spain, I’m sure I’ve forgotten someone. If I have to choose one or two national teams, then I would say that Brazil and France are the two biggest candidates to win the title,” Messi told Direct TV.Scaloni: Let’s enjoy Messi while he lasts, he will be missed like FedererArgentina is currently in form, because they won the Copa America in 2021 in the middle of Brazil, and then this year they won the Finalissima, a match between the champions of South America and Europe (Italy). That is why Gauchos are seen by many on the throne and in Qatar, but Messi, for whatever reason is refusing to name his team among the favorites.##NAJAVA_MECA_6724261##
