Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez said the Argentina national team doesn't consider the 2024 Copa América to be Lionel Messi's last tournament with La Albiceleste, adding that the captain remains the world's best player.

Messi has said it will be difficult for him to play at the 2026 World Cup, when he will turn 39, though coach Lionel Scaloni has voiced belief that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner can make it to the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
