Spanish newspaper AS published a commentary stating that Messi's legend has transcended football, and his retirement will diminish the value of the sport.

According to AS's commentary, Messi is saying goodbye to the Argentine national team, but his legend has long transcended football.

Messi is saying goodbye to the Argentine national team, but not to football. No matter how much he might want to, that would be impossible. The words "football" and "Messi" are inseparable. For now, Messi will continue doing what makes him happiest: bringing joy to millions with the ball at his feet. Messi will never be remembered only in the past tense, because people will remember everything he has achieved. As a player, Messi long ago transcended the passion that football inspires, becoming a global icon. He not only ignited people's passion for the beautiful game but also stepped up to help those in need when many were struggling. A recent example is his decision to donate to victims of the forest fires that affected villages in the Madrid mountain region last summer.

When Messi truly hangs up his boots, football will lose much of its meaning, but people will still find comfort watching compilations of his goals for Inter Miami in the morning. He will continue passing on his experience, and people will be happy to see one of football's greatest figures still active on the pitch. His presence has also made Spanish football greater. In his farewell speech to the Argentine national team, Messi mentioned the final on July 19, viewing it as a dream almost realized, only unfortunate that it was not achieved due to pure competition. This gesture deserves respect and reflects his desire to end those ridiculous urban legends.

In the coming days, Spain will award the Princess of Asturias Award to the Argentine player, an honor that deeply moved Messi because of his deep and strong connection to Spain. Messi's future life will remain closely tied to Spain, especially Catalonia. He has several projects in development, demonstrating his commitment and attachment to this country—the country that welcomed him as a child and now sheds tears as he says goodbye to the national team that he once again led to glory.
