MESSI’s PERCEIVED INTERNATIONAL FAILURES

Messi’s entire career has always been judged by his inability to win a major international honor with the Argentina National Team. It is almost unbelievable that a country blessed with so much talent in the attacking areas have always come up unstuck in major tournaments.

With only an Olympic Gold medal to show for his absolutely disappointing international career, he could well be an undeserved victim of football history in years to come when he has finally retired. Then again, he is the record holder for most goals scored in the history of the Argentine football national team and is on his way to eclipsing Pele’s all time record of goals for South American national teams which says a lot about his supposed international failures.

Lionel Messi has been brilliant for Argentina down the years and has captivated us with his mesmerizing football on numerous occasions. He almost single-handedly led Argentina to World Cup glory in 2014 and Copa America victories in 2015 and 2016. Watching him play is an incredible pleasure and it will always be even in the Argentine National Team. Figo summed him up brilliantly.

”Watching Lionel Messi play is an incredible pleasure. It’s like having an orgasm. It’s an incredible pleasure”.
—Luis Figo
