Lionel Messi is one of a generation of footballers who is considered to be the greatest of all time. His stats and trophy cabinet are proof of the statement. He has won almost every trophy at the collection and individual level, barring the most prestigious trophy in world football – the FIFA World Cup.

The legendary figure came close to winning it in the 2014 edition. Unfortunately, his side lost to Germany in the final, making his wait longer. Being 35, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the 2022 Qatar World Cup is Messi’s last chance to lift the title as his age will be an issue for the next edition.
