# Soccer: Argentina’s Lionel Messi has retired from international soccer, leaving a record-breaking legacy of 125 goals from 207 games. The 39-year-old played in six World Cups, won the tournament in Qatar in 2022 and led Argentina to the final this year but lost to Spain. Messi, who is Argentina’s all-time leading goal scorer and most-capped player, says he has given everything to the national side but now has nothing left to give. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner adds that his father’s passing has made him more convinced to retire.
