On the morning of March 26, Beijing time, in the 17th round of the South American region of the World Preliminary Round, Messi locked up the victory in 82 minutes, and Argentina defeated Venezuela 3-0. Argentina won three consecutive games while continuing their 16-game unbeaten run (11 wins, 5 draws).
In fact, Argentina has already qualified early and got a ticket to the Qatar World Cup. After the 3-0 win over Venezuela, Messi hinted he could retire from the national team after the World Cup. In fact, this is also understandable, after all, he will be 35 years old in 3 months, and the Copa America championship has also been won, and it is only natural to quit the national team after playing the Qatar World Cup.
Messi has already qualified for the Qatar World Cup, but C Ronaldo's Portugal actually has to win North Macedonia to get a World Cup ticket. This Qatar World Cup is likely to be an absolute double-pride curtain performance. Of course, there is also 41-year-old Ibrahimovic's Sweden, which also reached the final in the European play-offs of the World Preliminary Round, which is only one step away from the World Cup. In the same situation as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, there is also the 33-year-old Levan, whose Polish national team, although it won without a fight, still has to pass the Swedish level, which means that only one of Ibrahimovic and Levan can appear in the Qatar World Cup.
On the South American side, Suarez and Cavani are also likely to see the Qatar World Cup as their closing performance, and their Uruguay just qualified for the World Cup yesterday.
Then again, the 34-year-old Messi has had a bad time in Paris, especially after being eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League, and the Golden Ball was even booed by his fans at the Parc des Princes.
However, he returned to the Argentine national team and still played a relatively high performance, against Venezuela, he not only contributed 1 goal, but also had 3 statistics for the highest in the team.
Including 6 successful passes in a single game, 3 shots on target and 3 key passes, this is the highest number in the game.
Although the speed has slowed down a lot, Messi's pass is still so sharp, let's take a look at his 3 master passes from the perspective of God, watching is enjoying.
On the famous rating website, Messi scored a game-high 9.3 points, and Di Maria, who came off the bench to contribute the pass, was elected the best player of the game.
