PARIS: Lionel Messi’s career seemed complete after he led Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup, but the motivation to keep playing is still there for him and his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo as the duo prepare to make history at this year’s tournament in North America. This will be the last dance for Messi and Ronaldo, who will become the first players to appear in six different World Cups, two decades on from their fresh-faced debuts at the finals. They have since become icons far beyond the football pitch, two of the most recognizable people on the planet as they head into middle age and contemplate retirement. Messi appeared to suggest that there would not be much point in carrying on after he skippered Argentina to victory in Qatar. “Obviously I wanted to finish my career with this. I can’t ask for any more,” he said after dragging Lionel Scaloni’s side to victory over France on penalties in that World Cup final in Doha. “My career is coming to an end because these are my final years.
CANNES: French football legend Eric Cantona told AFP he’s been doing therapy since age 20 but still struggles with his “demons,” which he lays bare in a raw new documentary about his life. One of the beautiful game’s most colorful characters agreed to open up about his famously explosive and fragile ego in “Cantona” which is one of two soccer documentaries premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this week. The 115-minute film by British directors David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas features extensive interviews with the footballer-turned-actor in what sometimes resembles an extended session of psychoanalysis. Insight from former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and one-time teammate David Beckham, as well as a gripping soundtrack from one half of 1990s dance music legends Orbital, make it a compelling watch. “I’m constantly trying to figure out who I am, and that’s why I do my best to act on instinct as much as possible,” Cantona told AFP on Saturday. “Of course, there are times when things get a bit out of hand, but that’s part of life and I accept it.” Has therapy helped? “I’ve done a lot ... I started at 20 and I’ve continued at different moments.
