Lionel Messi ended a 36-year wait by leading Argentina to the World Cup in Qatar. Since then, the biggest question on the minds of fans and supporters has been - will Messi be seen in the 2026 World Cup? He himself has not yet given the correct answer. However, teammate Cristian Romero believes that Messi's fitness and quality of play prove that he will easily play in the upcoming World Cup.

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The current champion Argentina has already secured the World Cup from the Latin American qualifiers. According to Romero, there is no reason for Messi not to participate in such a competition. He said, "For me, Leo is completely fit. The decision is his, but I am sure he will play in the World Cup. Anyone who understands football knows that Messi is the biggest star in history."

The Tottenham defender added, "The experience of playing with him in the national team is amazing. We have made many good memories together. I think he is definitely going to play. We start planning for the World Cup in advance, and we are trying to maintain that now."

Although Messi himself has not said anything directly about this. The legend, who scored 114 goals in 194 matches for Argentina, has left fans in doubt about his future even after his last match. However, he is now more focused on winning the MLS title with Inter Miami than the national team.

Argentina secured a ticket to the World Cup by finishing top of the CONMEBOL qualifiers. Although they had to leave the field after losing the last match. Earlier, thousands of spectators also gathered in Buenos Aires to watch Messi's possible last international match. Nevertheless, Romero believes that Lionel Messi will be seen again at the World Cup, who may be dreaming of making Argentina the world champion for the second time.
