Lionel Messi Returns To Argentina Squad For First Time Since World Cup by ogbiwa: 8:16pm On Mar 07, 2019 |
Lionel Messi has been named in the Argentina squad for the first time since the 2018 World Cup. The Barcelona forward, 31, has missed six international friendlies following defeat by eventual winners France in the last 16 in Russia in June. He is part of a 31-man squad for friendlies against Venezuela and Morocco this month. Paris St-Germain midfielder Angel di Maria, 31, has also been recalled for the first time since the World Cup. There are four Premier League players in manager Lionel Scaloni's squad - Manchester City centre-back Nicolas Otamendi, Tottenham defender Juan Foyth, Watford midfielder Roberto Pereyra and West Ham playmaker Manuel Lanzini. However, Spurs winger Erik Lamela and goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga have both been dropped. Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has also been left out, having not played since 9 February because of an ongoing dispute with the Serie A club. Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Chelsea's Gonzalo Higuain also remain absent, having last played for Argentina at the 2018 World Cup. Argentina captain Messi, his country's record scorer with 65 goals in 128 games, initially retired from international duty after Copa America final defeat by Chile in June 2016 before reversing his decision less that two months later. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's only major international honour is Olympic gold at the 2008 Games in Beijing, having lost three Copa America finals and been beaten by Germany in the 2014 World Cup final. Argentina face Venezuela in Madrid at 01:00 GMT on 23 March before playing Morocco in Tangier on 26 March. The 2019 Copa America runs from 14 June to 7 July in Brazil, with Argentina drawn in Group B alongside Colombia, Paraguay and 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47488826 2 Likes

The only reason he keeps returning is to win a trophy with Argentina. After winning everything with his club, history will remember him as having never won anything major with his country and that's the blip he's trying so hard to erase, unfortunately, time is not that much on his side.

He shouldn't have returned, honestly. He still will not be loved or respected by his countrymen. Besides, it looks like he's destined to not win any trophy with the national team. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I don't understand messi fans. 1.If ronaldo scores they will say is tapping 2.If he heads the ball the ball they will say is height advantage 3.If he scores through freekick they will say is lucky short 4.If he plays bicycle kick they will say is gravitational pull 5.If he scores hat trick they we say is penalty. 6.If he wins the ballon d'or they will say it was a mistake 7.If he wins the ucl they will say it is because of his club(meanwhile AJAX 4:1 REAL MADRID) 8.IF he celebrate after winning they will say he is too proud 14 Likes |
