As Lionel Messi confirmed he will be playing his last FIFA World Cup game when Argentina take on either France or Morocco in Sunday's final in Doha, former England star Wayne Rooney said the Argentine striker is indeed playing the way as if it's his last dance in a global showpiece event.
Messi led Argentina to a 3-0 win over Croatia in their FIFA World Cup 2022 semifinal on Tuesday night and will earn his 172nd and last cap in the World Cups during the weekend when he tries to take the side to its first global title since 1986 triumph.
"Messi announced that this is probably his last World Cup, and he is playing like that. He is playing like this, is it? It is now or never," said Rooney on the VISA Match Centre show on Sports18.
Earlier, Messi had confirmed the 2022 FIFA World Cup final to be his swansong in the mega event. "I feel very happy, to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final."
