MetLife Stadium marks Messi's career milestone

Lionel Messi returned to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, ten years after witnessing a painful moment at the same venue when he announced his retirement from international football following Argentina's loss in the 2016 Copa América final. Back then, Messi missed a penalty and was overwhelmed with frustration, which led him to retire from playing with the Argentine national team. However, he returned after just a few weeks and continued to lead his team to numerous achievements, including winning the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 World Cup. This match presents an opportunity for the 36-year-old Messi to add another world title to his illustrious career, which has seen many challenges and successes. He is now on the verge of potentially his last international appearance.
