Now it's final:
after already declaring many times that the World Cup in Qatar will be his last in the Argentina uniform, tonight (Wednesday) the 35-year-old Leo Messi confirmed what we all can't grasp and said: "The final will definitely be my last game in the World Cup."

In the interview he gave to "Ola" after he was selected as the outstanding player in the semi-final yesterday against Croatia, and before the final, he said: "The next final will be many years from now and I don't think I will be able to play. This kind of ending is the best there is."
When asked about the possibility of him leading Argentina to their first World Cup win since 1986, he replied: "I am happy to finish my way in the World Cup games with a chance to win, with my last game being the World Cup final."
The flea overtook Gabriel Batistuta last night and became the king of goals for the team in the World Cup with 11 conquests.
"It's all well and good (breaking records), but what's most important is that we all achieve our goal - it's the most beautiful thing there is and we're one win away from winning. After fighting very hard, we'll do everything to make it happen this time," he added.

The one who also praised the Argentinian and wished him to win the World Cup was Luka Modric, the inevitable Croatian captain who made his last appearance in the national team yesterday: "I hope he wins, he will win, he is the best player in history and he deserves it," said the midfielder, "He has a tremendous World Cup where he shows his quality and greatness in every rematch."
