Even though I don't know if anybody really can manage Messi, but the situation.

Well, it's interesting that too, Lizzie, because how selfish can Messi be in terms of prioritizing?

Because it seems like he has quite a few big matches coming up on the calendar where everybody is going to want to see him, even though we, of course, all want to see him suit up for Argentina.

He's got the Finalissima coming up towards the end of March.

And then he has got the opening, well, the opener for...

for the new stadium that everybody's been waiting for, which I'm sure everybody will want to see him at.

For the fireworks, I'm sure you will be there as well.

So how does he prioritize the next March and April?

Yeah, Lizzie, just on that point as well, because as Alice says, I think Messi definitely has a better understanding now of how the season works here.

But in terms of the mood and I suppose the whispers around the club, whether it's from the board or the coaching staff as well, do you feel like

They almost understand that as well, what Ale is saying, that at the end of the day, yes, we say like Messi's superhuman, he knows his body better than anyone, but he has shown that at 38, he is still a human and there is still a World Cup and we know exactly what that means to him.

So do you feel like they kind of are resigned to the fact that they're going to have to give him some wiggle room to make those decisions, which probably means that he will sit out some of these big games?

The little man knows.

As I say, the race is not for the swift.

It's for he or she who endures to the end.

Lizzy Becerrano, my girl, thank you so very much for joining us.

We will catch up with you another time for more philosophical quotes.

Thank you.

Always an honor.

That took you back.
