Lionel Messi might be the Greatest Footballer of All Times, but his lack of success with his National side has always been a burden for the Argentinean. Despite winning the FIFA Under 20 World Cup in 2005 and the Olympic Gold Medal in 2008, the Barcelona Skipper is considered unsuccessful with his country.
Notably, Messi powered Argentina to the finals of four major tournaments, including the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, he ended up in the losing side in all of them. His failure to guide his Country to a trophy is often regarding as a failure of the man himself and many times, Messi has been blamed for his Country’s defeat.

It was here that he revealed that once he had made the decision to return to the National Team, his 6-year-old son Thiago asked him an innocent question
The Argentina Skipper then went on to reveal his wonderful reply, once again showing his love and respect for his motherland.

The Barcelona Skipper also spoke about his friend Aguero, who he believes should always be in the first team. However, it was a worried son’s simple query and a loving father’s heartfelt reply that stole the show.
What’s next?
Barcelona will face local rivals Espanyol in the La Liga on Saturday. Messi returned from International duty with a knock, but should be okay to start.
