Messi ‘From Another Planet’ Must Play 2026 World Cup, Says Di Maria
You know, when it comes to Lionel Messi, people keep saying he’s in a league of his own—and apparently, Angel Di Maria couldn’t agree more. In a recent interview, Di Maria went all out comparing Messi to the legendary Diego Maradona, calling them both “from another planet.” And honestly, after everything Messi has done for Argentina and Inter Miami, it’s hard to argue.
Di Maria made it very clear that, no matter what, Messi has to play in the 2026 World Cup. He said, “Yes, yes. No matter what shape he’s in, no matter what happens, Leo has to play in the World Cup, no matter what.” He emphasized that Messi isn’t just a player—he’s the heartbeat of Argentina’s national team. His presence on the field keeps the team growing, keeps fans excited, and frankly, makes watching football feel like witnessing magic. Di Maria even admitted that he never used to watch MLS, but now he has a season ticket just to see Messi play for Inter Miami. That’s how captivating Messi has become, even for his own teammates.

It’s understandable why Messi is held in such high regard. He finally fulfilled his ultimate dream by leading Argentina to the 2022 World Cup victory, ending a decades-long wait for that elusive title. Many thought he would retire on that high note, but Messi kept going, helping Argentina secure another Copa America title. For Di Maria and countless fans, the idea of a World Cup without Messi at the helm just wouldn’t feel right.
Even though Messi has missed a few recent games due to injury, doubts about his future at the top level seem almost irrelevant. At 38, he’s still considered indispensable. Argentina is expected to head into the 2026 World Cup with Messi as a starter, unless he himself decides it’s time to step away. And with the World Cup less than a year away, fans around the globe are hoping to see him in peak condition, showing once again why he’s often described as a phenomenon—an “alien,” as Di Maria puts it.
So, while the debate about his fitness may linger, the sentiment is clear: Messi isn’t just a player to be watched; he’s an experience. As Di Maria put it, “We have to keep enjoying it, and hopefully it’ll be in the best shape possible.” And if there’s one thing that fans can count on, it’s that Messi will keep inspiring, dazzling, and rewriting the history books, one World Cup at a time.
