Messi has an invitation to play for Argentina in the Olympics
Javier Mascherano, coach of the Argentina U-23 national football team, said that the door is open for Lionel Messi to participate in the Paris Olympics this year.
Argentina secured its place in the Olympic Games after defeating Brazil 1-0 last Sunday in the semi-finals of the South American qualifiers.
In response to a question about the possibility of Messi (36 years old) participating in Paris, Mascherano, his former teammate in the Argentine and Barcelona national teams, told reporters, “Well, everyone knows my relationship with Leo and the friendship that binds me to him.”
