Messi Hints at Retirement After Death of Father Jorge

Lionel Messi has cast doubt on his playing future following the death of his father, Jorge, saying 'I don't know how to carry on.' The admission is the clearest signal yet that the Argentina and Inter Miami forward may be considering bringing his career to a close. Messi is widely regarded as the greatest player of his generation, and any retirement would mark the end of an era for club, country, and the sport itself.
