Lionel Messi has revealed when he plans to retire from football as he enters the twilight of his illustrious career.
Messi has demonstrated his abilities since joining Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, scoring 16 goals and assisting seven times in 19 matches across many tournaments.
Nevertheless, at 36 years old, Messi has had to deal with injury setbacks, raising doubts about his durability in the sport.
Considering his retirement intentions while on the Big Time podcast, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner emphasized his self-awareness, acknowledging his tendency to critically evaluate his performances.
Messi conveyed his preparedness to exit the game when he senses he can no longer deliver his peak performance or derive joy from playing, regardless of his age.
“I am very self critical of myself, I know when I’m good, when I’m bad, when I play well and when I play badly. When I feel it’s time to take that step, I will take it without thinking about age,” Messi said.
“I know that moment I feel I am no longer ready to perform, that I am no longer enjoying myself or helping my teammates.
