Former Argentina and Barcelona coach Cesar Luis Menotti believes Lionel Messi will reverse his decision to retire from international football.
Argentina were beaten on penalties by Chile in the final of the Copa America Centenario in the United States last month – Messi tasting defeat in the decider for the fourth time with his country.
Following the match at MetLife Stadium the Barca superstar announced he would not return to the national team, but Menotti is confident he will reconsider.
"It's very difficult to give an opinion as Messi said what he said," Argentina's 1978 World Cup-winning coach told Sport.
"There comes a time when the motivation to be in the national team is lost, for thousands of reasons I cannot explain.
