Lionel Messi just said the quiet part out loud about his Barcelona friends retiring

Lionel Messi is still going strong at the age of 38, scoring goals and racking up assists for fun at Inter Miami. Considering how much he has achieved in his career, this would not come as a shock to any football fan in the world.

But even for him, there is a time to hang up the boots. It has not come yet, and it will likely be a few more years until it happens, but it will.

Messi will be able to play on for much longer than almost any football player in the history of the game because of how well he takes care of his body and how high his footballing IQ is.
