My only goal now is to win the world cup – Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is one of the best footballers in the world, he has won several trophies back to back and he can boast of winning the Ballon D’or six times.

But one of the things he has never done is winning a trophy for his home country – Argentina.

Well, the 33year old footballer has revealed that winning the world cup is his only goal right now.

He disclosed that his wish is to raise the coveted trophy for his nation at Qatar 2022 — where he’ll be 35.

“The only goal I have now is to win the World Cup with the national team,” Messi said.

“It might be my last world cup, who knows’

Meanwhile Spain’s head coach and former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has not wavered on his view that Lionel Messi is better than Cristiano Ronaldo despite Ronaldo recently scoring 100 goals for Portugal.

“Our goal doesn’t change aside from the fact confronting a player of his profile can be motivational,” he told reporters on Tuesday as he prepares Spain for a friendly game against Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

“As a team, we will try to do things better than Portugal and try to cause them problems – that’s the goal. Whether Ronaldo plays or not, the situation, the general approach to the game doesn’t change.

“With regards to your other question, if you check through your newspaper archives, you already knew what my opinion is and I don’t think it will be ideal for me again to comment on who is the best player in the world for me.

“What is worthy of praise is the fact that players like Cristiano and Leo Messi keep getting older but maintaining such a high level thanks to their professionalism, their ambition and their capacity to be motivated and keep achieving goals. Both Cristiano and Messi are examples of that.”
