At 38, Messi continues to amaze with his extraordinary physical condition, remaining relevant at the highest level of world football.

Lionel is not only still competing at the highest level. He also made his debut at the 2026 World Cup with a hat trick that allowed him to equal Miroslav Klose’s 16 World Cup goals. Beyond the records, what stands out most is how his body seems to defy the passage of time, preserving a physical condition that few footballers manage to maintain at this age.
