Lionel Messi has heaped praise on Gonzalo Higuain as he spoke of the striker’s ‘spectacular career’ ahead of his retirement.
Messi is nearing the end of his international career and is expected to retire from Argentina duty following the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which begins next month. The 35-year-old was long-term teammates on the national team with Higuain, who is set to retire from football at the end of the MLS season.
Higuain joined Inter Miami - the club owned by David Beckham - in September 2020 but struggled to get to grips in the United States. Following a slow start, the Argentine excelled in the 2022 campaign.
