The Argentine soccer team is in trouble. Lionel Messi (35, Paris Saint-Germain) missed training ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup final.

According to foreign media reports on the 16th (Korean time), Messi could not digest the official training schedule of the Argentina national team the day before. Although the reason for the Argentina national team was not revealed exactly, foreign media analyzed that Messi needed to manage his condition due to him feeling uncomfortable in the hamstring in the semi-final match against Croatia.

British media Express said: “Argentina captain Messi was absent from training with a hamstring problem” and “concerns about the final match against France are growing”. French media outlet Foot Mercato also reported that “Messi felt discomfort in his left hamstring and could not start training.”

Argentina, led by Messi, will meet France at midnight on the 19th in the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar. Argentina is trying to win the World Cup for the first time in 36 years since the 1986 tournament in Mexico. There is a high possibility that this stage will be the last World Cup for Messi.

Messi leads in both goals and assists this World Cup with 5 goals and 3 assists. He was also named Most Valuable Player 4 times out of a total of 6 games. If Messi scores a goal in the final and takes Argentina to the championship, we can expect a Ballon d’Or and even a Golden Boot.
