He has still not confirmed his participation in the next World Cup, but his presence is no longer in doubt. In an interview with Argentinian host Pollo Alvarez on YouTube, Lionel Messi was asked to give his favorites for this summer’s World Cup. Almost four years after the Albiceleste’s coronation in Qatar, the eight-time Ballon d’Or hopes to triumph again, but knows the fierce competition.
For Messi, today there are nations “ahead of (Argentina) and in better shape”. He particularly mentions the Blues, who are astonishing in their quality. “France is very good again and has many top players”indicates Messi, who also cites Spain, Brazil, Germany, England and even Portugal.
