Video of Lionel Messi training with Diego Maradona resurfaces after his retirement announcement

After Lionel Messi announced his retirement from Argentina, an incredible video of him training with Diego Maradona resurfaced. Messi officially ended his international career at 39 after more than two decades with the national team. The footage takes fans back to the time when Maradona coached Argentina and a young Messi was already emerging as the country’s next great No. 10. Their time together also produced memorable moments away from matches, including Maradona personally helping Messi work on his free kicks. Maradona led Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986. Decades later, Messi finally did the same in 2022. Now, as Messi closes his chapter with Argentina, seeing the two legends together again hits differently.
