On June 24, Beijing time, Messi celebrated his 36th birthday. In the past year, he has achieved the most important achievements of his career, and in the year ahead, he will embark on a new journey in his career.
35 years old, a brilliant year
The past 365 days have been a very important time for Messi, and of course he has experienced lows, such as stopping in the last 16 of the Champions League, missing training and stopping the club three times, but more importantly, success and glory.
Last December, Messi led Argentina to victory over the World Cup, lifting the Hercules Cup for the first time in his career, in his own words, a dream come true with no regrets.
With this title, Messi was also crowned the king of the ball, becoming GOAT, winning FIFA Player of the Year and Lawrence Male Player of the Year, and the biggest favorite for this year's Ballon d'Or.
At the age of 36, he embarked on a new journey
Today, Messi is 36 years old, and in this "birth year", he has also begun a new career journey.
After parting ways with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi failed to return to Barca, and between the United States and Saudi Arabia, he was not lured by money and finally chose to go to Miami International, which was also his first time to leave Europe to play football after arriving in La Masia at the age of 13.
New clubs, new arenas, new environments, all require Messi and his family to adapt. Fortunately, Leo used to come here a lot for holidays, and he also has a house on the south coast, so it shouldn't be too difficult. And after achieving the Grand Slam, he also has the right to enjoy life better.

Secondly, closer cooperation with the two major business giants of the MLA, Apple and Adidas will not only allow Messi to earn more, but most importantly, it will also benefit his development in the business field after his retirement.
Third, although Messi said in an interview that it doesn't matter whether he wins the Ballon d'Or or not, this is just a modest statement, if he can win the 8th time, who will not be happy?
Fourth, Messi said that "in principle" he will not play in the 2026 World Cup, but the World Preliminary Tournament, which starts in September this year, still has to be played, and he will lead Argentina to the World Cup finals before considering whether to play in the next World Cup.
Fifth, next year's Copa America will be held from June 20 to July 1, 2024, Messi will definitely participate, he will be 36 years old before the opening, and his 37th birthday will be spent on the field, and the goal is of course to successfully defend his title.
For Chinese fans, the most concerned thing is whether Messi will come to China again in the next year? Judging from the current situation of the news from all parties, it is still possible, 36-year-old Mei Qiu King, let's wait and see!
