Lionel Andrés Messi wrote on Instagram that the match the day before had been his last and that he already missed wearing the Argentine jersey. He said he considered his decision to be correct and described his journey as a path with joys and sorrows that, in his opinion, had been worth it. The soccer player thanked his family, friends, teammates, and coaches, as well as the clubs he played for, for allowing him to prioritize the National Team. He also remembered Diego Maradona, whom he credited with helping the team both in life and "from the sky," and thanked God. Messi said he would miss those who had been by his side. #Gracias #Fútbol #Adiós (translated)
