Is this Lionel Messi's last World Cup? Here's what the Argentina captain has actually said

Why this score

The provided trusted wire sources report that the World Cup has already concluded with Spain winning and Argentina losing, making the premise of a future-looking article about Messi's participation in the tournament factually inconsistent with the baseline. The trusted sources explicitly mention a 'World Cup loss' for Argentina and Scaloni's reaction to it, contradicting the implication that the tournament is ongoing or that Messi's status is a current, unresolved question.

Red Flags
