Argentina touched the sky last December when they were crowned world champions by winning the 2022 FIFA Cup in Qatar. Lionel Messi and the rest of his teammates reached the top of football by winning the most important title in football. Now, nine months after that great event, Alejandro “Papu” Gómez, who was part of the Albiceleste delegation that received the trophy, has made a surprising revelation.
The attacker pointed out in an interview that his career could be over at the age of 35. The former Atalanta player from Italy has currently left Sevilla and is enjoying his days off. However, there was still no proposal from a club that would convince him to play again.
“I’m enjoying my stay in Seville, but I’m waiting for the right opportunity. If she doesn’t come, I might consider resigning. I gave everything for football and I don’t want to be bitter,” he said in a conversation with journalist Matteo Spini from the newspaper Eco Di. Bergamo.
“Papu” Gómez still finds it hard to believe that he won the World Cup and assures that it is all thanks to his efforts throughout his career.
“Looking back, realizing I won a World Cup is still surreal. I realize that all the hard work and dedication in my career has paid off in ways I could never have imagined,” said the Argentine footballer.
