Messi Evaluates His Current Physical Condition

Argentinian national team forward Lionel Messi has evaluated his current physical condition:

“Of course, I am already 36 years old. I am no longer the same as I was a few years ago at Barcelona. My first year in Paris was very difficult for me for various reasons. But last season, I felt much better, more at ease. The World Cup played an important role. The fact that it was held in the middle of the season... It was an unusual year for everyone. The World Cup affects many things, especially considering such a season. This is not an excuse, as many played in the World Cup, but overall, the World Cup has impacted both the league and the quality of play in the Champions League,” Messi was quoted by beIN Sport, as reported by armsport.am.
