20 years, 194 games, 175 goals! 6 championships are not enough, can Messi lead Argentina to defend the World Cup?

In the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, Argentina defeated Venezuela at home, and Messi completed his last game in the local area. The scene was unforgettable.

In the past 20 years of national team career, Messi has played 194 times for Argentina, participated in 175 goals (114 goals and 61 assists), and won 6 important championships including the World Cup, the Copa America (2 times), the European and American Cup, the U20 World Cup and the Olympics. From many perspectives, Messi has surpassed Kempes and Maradona to become the number one player in Argentina's history.

In the process of leading the team to win the Qatar World Cup championship, Messi not only fulfilled his personal wish, but also promoted a large number of young players. After quenching the World Cup, Enzo Fernandez, McAllister, Alvarez and Cristiano Ronaldo have grown into top players. With the recent rise of young players such as Almada and Nico Pas, Scaloni is a strong man. In next year's defending journey, Mesozoic backbone represented by McAllister, Enzo Fernandez and Alvarez will unite to complete the perfect end of their careers for their idols.
