By IANS News March 28, 2024 • 09:18 AM View: 355

FIFA World Cup: Lionel Messi has not yet thought about retirement and says age will not be a determining factor in his decision to end his playing career.

The 36-year-old said he would call time on his career only when he feels he is unable to contribute or loses his enjoyment for the game.

"I know that the moment I feel that I am no longer performing, that I am no longer enjoying it or helping my teammates [I will retire]," Messi said in an interview with the Big Time podcast published on Wednesday, reports Xinhua.
