Lionel Messi has stated he is uncertain about how much longer he will continue his professional football career following the death of his father. Jorge Messi, who had served as his son's agent since Lionel was 14, passed away last week at the age of 68 after a prolonged illness.
In an emotional tribute posted on social media, the 39-year-old footballer shared his grief. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you," Messi wrote, addressing his father. "I don't know how to carry on. I used to just play football, and now I'm really not sure if I'll carry on doing it for much longer."
