Lionel Messi

The Five-time World Player of the Year (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015) has hinted that in the nearest future, he would probably end his career by returning to his native Argentina.
    In an interview published on fifa.com few days after he lifted the fifth Ballon d'Or, the 28 year old Argentine striker who left his native country at the age of 13 when he joined Barcelona football Club admitted “It was always my dream to play in Argentina when I was a boy, though I had to leave at a tender age because of my situation and it didn't happen”. 
    The football icon further noted, "I had to go to Europe, start out with Barcelona and make my career there, but I would like to return to Argentinian football one day."

Worth mentioning is the fact that Lionel Messi has not always enjoyed the same reputation in his native land like in Europe. This on the bases that the football wizard which he is has so far failed to end Argentina's 23-year wait to win a key international tournament.
    Even though the football icon failed to help Argentina win the World Cup and Copa America finals in the past two years, he and his teammates are very much ready to put all what it takes to win the Copa America Centenario to take place in the United States this summer.
