The Barcelona captain has plenty left
Xavi has been talking about Lionel Messi and reckons Barcelona’s captain can play until he’s 40.
Messi signed a new contract at the club last year which will keep him at the Camp Nou until he’s 34.
However, his former team-mate believes he can go on for much longer if he wants because of his unique abilities.
“Sometimes I think that he can play until he is 38, 39 or 40. He needs very little to be able to do that,” he said.
”What do you lose as you get older? Your pace? Well he won’t lose his mental speed. Messi is incomparable.
”I think that he would be able to play wherever he wants on the park.
”He already drifts into the centre of the field and is effective there, as he is at defending too because he is very strong mentally.”

Messi’s certainly shown no signs of slowing down yet. He’s already scored 12 goals this season in just 11 outings for Barca.
