In a video posted on social networks, Messi appeared at the team's gym in his familiar white and blue outfit and performed handbell exercises with his teammates.
The image that attracted attention was Messi's physical condition at the age of 39. The arms, shoulders and thighs of the Argentine captain showed firm muscles. He himself was also highly focused throughout the training session.
There were no long shares about personal goals or future plans, Messi only posted training moments as part of the preparation process with the team.
Messi's continued maintenance of high training intensity at this stage shows his endurance. While most players of the same generation have retired or significantly reduced the burden, the owner of 8 Golden Balls still plays a central role in Argentina's playing style at the 2026 World Cup.
In the group stage, Messi continuously made his mark with new records and made important contributions to the impressive achievements of the reigning world champion.
Although he no longer plays based on continuous accelerations as before, his experience, technique and ability to read the game still help him make a difference.
At the age of 39, Messi has not shown signs of stopping and is still preparing carefully for the journey to defend the throne at the 2026 World Cup.
