New Delhi: He may have won trophies galore with Barcelona, but legendary Spanish defender Carles Puyol wants his former club mate to lift a major title for his country Argentina.
Lionel Messi is yet to win a major international senior title, finishing runners up in the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa America and 2016 Copa America Centenario.
Critics point to his failure in international tournaments as a black spot in a glittering career, making his legacy incomplete. Puyol is in India to promote the upcoming Fifa U-17 World Cup.
“The one thing about Messi is that he keeps improving and he has been consistent for 10 years, he keeps getting better and that’s because he has the drive and passion,” Puyol said in a Facebook live session on Tuesday.
“I hope Messi wins something with his national team and not only with his club, then he would have won everything with everyone.”
