Messi admits 2018 World Cup is last chance at glory with Argentina

The Argentina star knows that the pressure is on his side to finally emerge victorious after several close calls

Argentina star Lionel Messi said the upcoming World Cup in Russia is the last chance for the nation's current group of players to win a World Cup.

The football icon has lifted a plethora of global, continental and domestic titles with Barcelona, but his national team career has not consisted of the same glory.

Messi and Argentina have suffered heartbreak in three consecutive major international finals: the 2014 World Cup and the 2015 and 2016 editions of the Copa America.
