Lionel Messi paid tribute to his late father, Jorge Messi, on Wednesday, describing the difficulty of leading Argentina to the World Cup final and expressing uncertainty over whether he will continue playing soccer.
In a post on Instagram, Messi said he did not know how he would move forward without his father. He also said he had serious doubts about continuing his playing career, having spent his life focused on soccer.
Jorge Messi, who played a key role in his son's career as his agent and managed his business affairs, died Saturday at the age of 68.
