Argentine Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi said his level of play may have declined in recent years.
Of course, I'm 36 years old now, I'm not the same player I was at Barcelona a couple years ago. The fact that the World Cup took place in the middle of the season played an important role. I am not making excuses, but in general the tournament influenced the level of play in the French championship and in the Champions League. All the players came back from the tournament different, although for different reasons.
