Modern.az reports that the star football player shared this on his "Instagram" account.
Messi stated that he did everything he could for the national team and that he has nothing left to give to the team.
The Argentine star played 207 games for the national team, scored 125 goals, and led the team to the championship at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“Time passes, pages turn, and it is very painful for me to leave this page. I gave everything for the national team, I have nothing left to give it. In addition, great young footballers who deserve a chance are coming after me,” said the eight-time “Golden Ball” winner.
