The most interesting figure in the World Cup in Qatar will be Leo Messi again.
When he comes to his last World Cup in his career with an ever more talented Argentina team, the flea wants to add a World Cup to his trophy cabinet - which can make him, in the eyes of many, the greatest soccer player in history.
The PSG striker was interviewed by a newspaper in his homeland ahead of his last major tournament: "There is great pressure in the family, as in the whole country, to win the World Cup. Antonella (his wife) tells me to bring the trophy and Thiago (his son) is constantly watching videos of The national team looks at the calendar and puts enormous pressure on me."

Messi added: We are very excited and know that we are in a good time, but we also have to remember that this is the World Cup and it is very difficult to win the World Cup," said Messi, "Everything can happen in one game and the small details are crucial.
We know we can win the World Cup, but we only need to think about the first game."
The flea talked about his insights from the previous tournaments: "Our team is similar to that of 2014 when we reached the final. In that World Cup I realized that opening the tournament well is the most important thing. We became a strong team after losing to Brazil in the Copa America in 2019."
Despite everything, Messi does not make promises: "I am not one to promise such things", said Messi, "God is the one who decides what will happen, we will give everything and hope that he will help us".
