Age Won't Determine When My Retirement - Messi

Argentine forward, Lionel Messi said age won’t be a deciding factor in his retirement plans, adding that he has no clear idea of what he will do when that time comes.

Messi will turn 37 in under three months but knows for sure that his age will not determine when it is time to hang up his boots.

"I know that the moment I feel that I am no longer performing, that I am no longer enjoying it or helping my teammates (I will retire)," Messi told the media.

"I am very self-critical. I know when I am doing well, when I am not, when I play well and when I play poorly. When I feel it's time to take that step, I will do it without thinking about age. If I feel good, I will try to continue competing because it's what I like and what I know how to do," he added.
