He contributed several goals and assists in many games in the 2025 season, proving that his physical condition can still adapt to high-intensity games. Moreover, Messi's contract renewal negotiations with Miami International are almost completed, and a stable club environment will also help him prepare for the World Cup better.

Messi's goals are often accompanied by exquisite dribbling, clever extraordinary and precise shooting. Every goal is full of his love and persistence for football.
