Leo Messi Retires from International Football.

Lionel Messi: 'The national team is over for me.'

Messi: 'I'm taking this decision for me and for the many people who want this. I've tried so hard, but I'm leaving without managing it.'

Messi: "The national team is over for me. It's not for me after 4 finals. The decision is taken, I believe."

Messi: "I've tried so much to be a champion with Argentina. Unfortunately I couldn't, it wasn't meant to be."

Messi: "It's what I feel, it's a very sad feeling that continues to happen, especially missing the penalty kick. It's over."
