The 2022 World Cup in Qatar next month will be the last of Lionel Messi's storied career.
The 35-year-old Argentina star, who will play in his fifth World Cup beginning on Nov. 20, is still seeking his first title at the showpiece tournament and admitted he feels nervous ahead of his last appearance on world football's biggest stage.
"There's some anxiety and nerves at the same time. It is the last one," Messi said in an interview with Star Plus.
It is the first time the Paris Saint-Germain striker has spoken openly about his future after the tournament, with Messi having not said definitively whether or not he would retire from the national team after Qatar.
