Lionel Messi said that he will not go to the Olympics in Paris as a member of the Argentine national team, as he is no longer at the age when he can play in every tournament, Reuters reports.
The 36-year-old Inter Miami forward is currently preparing to defend his Copa America title, which will take place from June 20 to July 14 in the United States.
I spoke with Mascherano (Argentina's Olympic team manager) and we analyzed the situation. At my age, I can't play in all tournaments, I have to choose well what to do, and it would be too much to play in two competitions in a row.
