He said;

“Is it my last World Cup? Yes, surely yes, surely yes. I am counting down the days to the World Cup. There is a bit of anxiety and nerves at the same time. Wanting it to be now and the nerves that were are already there, what is going to happen.

“It’s the last one, how are we going to do. Yes, on the one hand, we can’t wait for it to arrive and on the other hand, we’re scared of wanting it to go well.”

Messi also said that he and his teammates are used to going into major tournaments as the favorites.

He added;

“I don’t know if we are the great candidates, but Argentina itself is always a candidate because of history, because of what it means.

“More now at the moment we arrived. But we are not the top favorites it seems to me. There are other teams that are above us today, but we are very close.

“We arrived in a very good moment because of the way things turned out, with a very strong group, but anything can happen in a World Cup. All the matches are very difficult, that’s why a World Cup is so special because it’s not always the favourites who end up winning or doing the way you expected.”
