Argentia will face France or Morocco in the final on Sunday in Qatar. “I feel very happy, to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final,” Messi told the Argentine media outlet Diario Deportivo Ole.“It’s many years for the next one and I don’t think I’ll be able to do it. And to finish like this, it’s the best.” Watch: Messi's magical assist that fired Argentina into World Cup final Messi, 35, is currently playing in his fifth World Cup and has also scored five goals in Qatar so far.
