23.5 million people have requested to buy World Cup tickets in Qatar, according to the FIFA website! Most of them expressed interest in watching Argentina matches. Messi's influence on the pitch is quite obvious, the man is way too influential. He has more influence than anyone could imagine. Argentina's fans have always been amazing. Messi would still be the reason for those people to watch Argentina.
The figure of Leonel Messi is of course a very big attraction in the Argentine national team, because Messi is now 35 years old, most likely this year's world cup will be Messi's last world cup, it is certain that all Messi fans will buy tickets to watch the last game of their star player Because this year is also the last year for Ronaldo to play in the world cup, maybe this year's world cup ticket sales are the most ticket purchases in all world cups.
