Lionel Messi has broken his silence after his father, Jorge, died at 68 last week after a long-term illness. In a lengthy Instagram statement in Spanish, the Argentina great detailed Jorge’s impact on his soccer career, what he went through during the World Cup and even hinted at a potential retirement. “All I ever did was play football, and now I have quite few doubts as to whether I’ll carry on doing it for much longer,” Messi wrote.
