Lionel Messi's retirement from the Argentina national team has led to emotional reactions from teammates, politicians and football organisations. Messi announced his decision through a social media post on Monday, saying that he had thought about it for a long time and felt that the moment had arrived to step away from the national team.
The 39-year-old had written the message two days after Argentina's 2026 World Cup final against Spain but chose to publish it later.
Among the first to react was Argentina midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, who shared an emotional tribute to Messi. De Paul praised his former teammate's leadership, strength and love for Argentina while calling him "the greatest of all time."
