Messi underscored his willingness to step away from professional football once he no longer feels capable of performing at his peak or deriving satisfaction from the game, irrespective of his age.

 

I am very self critical of myself, I know when I’m good, when I’m bad, when I play well and when I play badly. When I feel it’s time to take that step, I will take it without thinking about age,” Messi said.
