Petit Says Messi Will Retire After 2026 World Cup and Won’t Return to Barcelona

Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has shared his thoughts on Lionel Messi’s future, saying the legendary Argentine will likely hang up his boots after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Petit also dismissed ongoing rumours about Messi making a return to Barcelona, saying there’s no space for him in the current setup. According to him, young talent Lamine Yamal has already stepped into Messi’s shoes at the club.
Speaking in an interview, Petit said, “Messi has been linked with a return to Barca, but I don’t see it happening. Yamal won’t be sitting on the bench, and while Messi could play as a No. 10, we know he doesn’t run much anymore. Can Barcelona handle that in midfield?” He added that Messi’s focus will likely be on leading Argentina one last time in the 2026 World Cup before calling time on his career. Messi left Barcelona for PSG after contract talks with the Catalan side broke down.

Makelele Picks Dembele Over Yamal for 2025 Ballon d’Or

Former Chelsea star Claude Makelele has backed Ousmane Dembele to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or, snubbing rising Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal. Makelele, who also played for France, said while Yamal is clearly talented, he still has a lot to prove and needs more time to grow. In his view, Dembele has put in the work over the years and deserves the recognition.
Speaking in an interview, Makelele said, “Dembele deserves it. Lamine still has to show more consistency. He’s still a kid. He’s got the talent, but let’s not rush him.” Both Dembele and Yamal have been named among the top contenders for the prestigious award, but Makelele believes it’s too early to hand it to the teenager.
