As reported by SI.com, Lionel Messi has had a change of heart and decided to retract his previous statement about retiring from the Argentina National Team after their defeat in the Copa America Centenario final.

According to a report from La Nacion, Messi is set to make a comeback in November to represent La Albiceleste, confirming our belief that his retirement announcement was a spur-of-the-moment decision. It seems clear that Messi’s main goal now is to compete in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and bring home the victory for Argentina. At 29 years old, it’s no surprise that the player considered one of the best in the world would return to play for his country, especially since he already holds the record for most goals scored for Argentina.
