Lionel Messi has ended his career with the Argentina national team. The former number 10 of the Albiceleste leaves peacefully, as he indicates in a post on social media.

It's over. It's done. Lionel Messi will no longer wear the colors of Argentina in official matches. La Pulga played his last match against the Benin national team on Tuesday. The former FC Barcelona and PSG player leaves the national team feeling he has accomplished his mission. “The time has come. I leave in peace, I gave it my all”, he shares.

After accumulating over 200 caps and scoring 126 goals, Lionel Messi states he has fulfilled a dream, that of representing Argentina. “This jersey has been my dream, my pride, and my life for so many years”.
