What's next for Lionel Messi? It's a question everyone will be asking this summer after a disappointing first season at Paris Saint-Germain, scoring just two Ligue 1 goals. For the first time in a long time, the Argentine no longer seems among the world's best players.
Messi was expected to dominate French football, with some even tipping him to end PSG's wait for Champions League glory. Neither of those prophecies have come true, however, and his time in Paris could be dwindling towards a premature end.
The 34-year-old's Argentina future also hangs in the balance. "I really don't know," said Messi when asked when he's planning on retiring from international future. This year's World Cup is his last realistic chance of winning the only trophy that alludes him, but he admitted a period of change could be coming after December's tournament. "I can only think about what's coming next, I only think about facing Ecuador. After the World Cup, I will have to rethink many things."
