Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time， but he has not been able to replicate his club form on the international stage. Despite his incredible skill， technique and determination， he has been unable to translate his individual brilliance into collective success with Argentina.

Some of the factors that have contributed to Messi’s World Cup struggles include the lack of quality players surrounding him， the pressure of carrying the hopes and expectations of a nation， and the wide range of tactical approaches employed by opposing teams. Messi has also been hampered by injuries， which have caused him to miss matches and limit his effectiveness when available.

Unfortunately for Argentina， Messi’s time in the international spotlight is running out and it seems unlikely that he will be able to bring the World Cup trophy home. But despite his struggles， it’s impossible to deny that Messi has left an indelible mark on the game and will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time.
