Lionel Messi is considering his future in football after the death of his father, Jorge. The 39-year-old Argentina forward is signed with Inter Miami until 2028. But, in an emotional tribute to his dad, he hinted at retirement as he said: "I don't know how to carry on." He has scored a combined 921 goals for Barcelona, Paris St-Germain, Inter Miami and Argentina.

BBC Sport looks at some of the most iconic moments of his remarkable career. His first career hat-trick came in El Clasico at age 19, scoring all of Barcelona's goals in a 3-3 draw. Just over a month later, he scored a sublime solo strike against Getafe reminiscent of Diego Maradona. In 2022, he finally won the World Cup, scoring two goals in the final against France and being named player of the tournament.

Other highlights include four goals against Arsenal in 2010, breaking Barcelona's scoring record at 24, and a record 91 goals in 2012. He has won a record eight Ballon d'Or awards, the last in 2023 after leading Inter Miami to the Leagues Cup. Now, with his personal loss, Messi's future hangs in the balance.
