Messi could have played for the Spain national team

Lionel Messi revealed that he could have played not for Argentina, but for the Spain national team. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. Messi recalled that during his time at Barcelona, he received an offer to play for the Spain national team.

He spoke about this on the Miro De Atras program. The footballer emphasized that such situations are common among many players at that time.

Although Messi was born in Argentina, he moved to Barcelona at a very young age and developed his football skills mainly in the club's academy. For this reason, the opportunity to play for the Spain national team was real.

However, Messi said that he never considered changing his choice and stressed that his heart has always been with Argentina. It is worth noting that Lionel Messi won the World Cup with the Argentina national team in 2022.

This achievement is remembered as one of the greatest successes in his football history.
