The majority of people who are fans of Messi, of CR7 are very large, they want to see him again, as I have said, it would be good if they could play a game between Argentina and Portugal, where the technicians have no shame in putting these two legends from beginning to end, that they do not start inventing to put them on the Bench as they are always bored by the technicians who have been through both squads, here things must happen as they are, with the greatest rivalry in football and show who is the best, that is where they will realize who is the best, until now Argentina is the defending champion, and Messi knows it, for that reason I don't think he is going to leave his teammates alone, because they obviously know that they need him , and With the Experience he has it is obvious.
I think even though they could meet at the 2026 World Cup, even though the chances are very, very small unless they are in the same group or both enter the final round, I think their rivalry is over. LM10 has played in MLS and CR7 has played in the Saudi pro league. I admit that they both still have decent quality but their next meeting from now on will no longer be about rivalry, but about their leadership and charisma on the field to bring or motivate young players in their respective countries if the two meet. I couldn't explain it any better but I think you know what I mean.
Maybe not at the finals because that would be very very difficult for both teams, I can see them face earlier on. I mean as soon as they go out of the group stages they could face each other, and if I am not wrong there is nothing stopping them from playing against each other on the group stages as well, that should be a good thing.
I believe that we need to arrange some friendlies to make sure they play any sooner than that because there doesn't seem to be one and I doubt that it would happen. However, at this point they are going to get near retirement age anyway and the game will not be all that talent loaded like they were back in the day. All those Real Madrid vs Barcelona games that they played against each other were amazing.
Wow, how can I forget those times when they were rivals and each one beat the other, this was something great , I remember that time when Barcelona had a great team , they were led by Pep, even long before, especially for me he was the one Who He stole the show, Messi was just him, a player, who did stand out, but not as much as Dinho, for me the things that were Experienced at that moment are still valid in my mind as if those events happened yesterday, now well, like They say, I hope that the next World Cup, life gives us that great match , Argentina and Portugal , but where Argentian is with Messi, because I see that Argentina really needs Messi, because the World Cup qualifying round in South America is quite hot, things They are getting very good, the favorites have not won everything just teams, they have had some setbacks, like Brazil and Argentina who have tied their games, and this is not good for them because they are used to winning, so there is no absolute leader here, the 'countries' of South America can make a difference in the World Cup if they maintain the level they have shown so far, it is incredible how they can improve in a few years from now, so I hope Argentina manages to qualify and Portugal too, here you can opaar Whatever, let's remember that Argneitna qualified very well in the World Cup in Qatar, but Portugal didn't, football is like that.
Now between these two, I hope that Messi does not leave, what I don't like about the great players who go to the MLS is because they are their last games, the 'farewell games, because there it is like a whole for them. For them, I hope that Messi makes a difference, although from what he Himself has said I don't see it any other way but that he retires there , but that they at least compete in this last World Cup , that they take the example of other players , like Maldini, Buffon, who They are players who were at a high age and still represented their Country.
