What fascinates me most about Messi’s longevity is that he didn’t fight aging.
While football became faster and more physical, Messi became slower and smarter.
The older he gets, the more it feels like he’s playing a different sport from everyone else.
For context messi spent 20 mins today walking the game…
For the first time in my life, I won’t be watching a World Cup with the anxiety of whether Messi will finally achieve his biggest dream or not.
This time, I’ll just try to cherish every moment of what will likely be his final appearance on football’s biggest stage.
