"I would advise Lionel Messi to stop now, he has already done so much for football."

The former Côte d'Ivoire football player advised Messi to end his career and completed his thoughts as follows: "His victory in the last World Cup made him even more legendary. He is an amazing player!"
37-year-old Messi has been playing for Inter Miami since the summer of 2023. During this time, he participated in 49 matches in all tournaments, scored 42 goals and provided 21 assists. The footballer's current contract with the club expires at the end of 2025. According to Transfermarkt, Messi's current transfer value is 20 million euros.
It should be noted that Drogba and Messi were rivals 8 times while playing for Chelsea and Barcelona, respectively. The London club won 2 of these games and lost only 1.
