Argentina World Cup hero Oscar Ruggeri has advised Lionel Messi to play only one more game with Barcelona this season, and rest up for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Ruggeri said he considers the La Liga title “already won,” so following the Copa del Rey final, the player should focus solely on the World Cup. There are five more league matches left after this weekend’s cup final.
“Messi can call Barcelona president and tell him ’this is my World Cup; I’m going to dedicate myself to the national team,’” the former Boca Juniors, River Plate, and San Lorenzo defender told 90 Minutes Fox.
