Lionel Messi admitted that "everything changed" for him after Argentina won the World Cup at the tail-end of last year, as speculation over his Paris Saint-Germain future heightens amid a two-week suspension.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner was initially expected to remain in the French capital beyond this season, with the idea of signing a new contract to extend his stay floated at the beginning of the season but Messi wanted to wait until after the World Cup before locking in any decision.
It would seem that La Albiceleste going the distance and winning the competition for the first time since 1986 has altered Messi's idea of his club future, with the Argentine conceding the triumph did change things in comments that highlight just how much the national team means to the Barcelona icon.
