Messi shows off biceps with perfect pull-ups as he turns 39

Lionel Messi marked his 39th birthday by sharing a glimpse of his training work with Argentina, performing a series of flawless pull-ups at the national team’s base. The video highlighted his bicep definition and upper-body strength as the defending World Cup champions continue their campaign at the 2026 tournament.

Before their match with Austria, coach Lionel Scaloni praised the bond within the squad and offered a warm note for his captain. “We believe it’s the group that gets through both the good and the bad moments. We know that being beside a friend always makes things better.

That’s how we all feel, and I imagine Leo feels the same way, based on what he said,” he said, adding: “I just want him to be happy. That’s what we all want.” Scaloni referred to the Inter Miami forward with affection as the team celebrated.
