3 things Lionel Messi would want to achieve this year

#2 Major success with Argentina

France v Argentina: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

As evident with the incidents in the past decade, Lionel Messi is a mere shadow of his own self with Argentina. Call it pressure or the huge expectations that come up while playing for the National team, captain Lionel Messi hardly finds his usual self with Argentina.

Over the years, Lionel Messi has failed to deliver when Argentina needed him the most and the team's collective failure in most competitions depicts that fact. With Messi, Argentina lost two Copa America finals in successive years.

The failure in the World Cup is also the reason why Leo finished 5th in the Ballon d'Or despite winning the domestic double with Barcelona.

Leo Messi took another break after the World Cup in 2018 but is expected to return and lead the side for Copa America. He will be eager to deliver a major trophy with his National team as that is the only challenge left for him to overcome.
