Barcelona star comes out of international retirement
Aug 13, 2016
Lionel Messi has been named in Argentina's World Cup qualifiers squad, less than two months after retiring from international football.
The Barcelona star says he changed his mind for the love of his country, adding there's much to fix in Argentinian football, and he prefers to do it from the inside rather than criticise from the sidelines.
Messi had quit the team after Argentina's Copa America final defeat by Chile in June.
