Questions people ask about Lionel Messi

What happened to Lionel Messi in the 2026 World Cup final?

Argentina lost the 2026 World Cup final 1 to 0 to Spain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026. Ferran Torres scored the only goal in the 106th minute, in the second half of extra time. Argentina did not put a shot on target across the 120 minutes.

Where can you buy a Messi jersey?

Argentina's adidas shirts with Messi's number 10 sell through adidas.com and major soccer retailers, while his Inter Miami jerseys sell through the MLS store and Fanatics. Official channels matter here, because Messi shirts are among the most counterfeited products in sports.

How much does a Messi jersey cost?

The fan version of an Argentina or Inter Miami shirt generally runs around 100 dollars, with authentic player versions costing more and name and number printing adding to the total. Match issued or signed pieces trade far above that through memorabilia channels.

What brands does Lionel Messi work with?

Messi has a lifetime deal with adidas, which has made his boots throughout his career, and he runs his own Messi brand lifestyle line. Since 2023 he has played for Inter Miami, a move that tied him to MLS and its broadcast partner Apple.

How many World Cups has Lionel Messi won?

One so far: Argentina's 2022 title in Qatar, where he was named the tournament's best player. He also holds a record eight Ballon d'Or awards, and the July 19, 2026 final gives Argentina the chance to defend the trophy.
