Messi Chases Longevity Record at World Cup

Despite his age, Messi continues to impress at the highest level, having recently scored a hat-trick against Algeria and a brace against Austria. Former Brazil star Ronaldo Nazário expressed amazement at Messi's longevity, noting: "He's 38 years old, my God! At that age I had retired four years earlier and weighed 120 kilos."

Messi's remarkable ability to maintain top-level performance well into his late thirties stands out even more when considering that Ronaldo himself was heavily affected by injuries in his final seasons. blablasex.es
