❤️‍🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.

“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.

“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.

“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.

“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.

“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.

“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.

“I never managed to feel physically right”.

“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.

He won titles with Barcelona — “comfort zone.”

He won Ligue 1 — “Farmers League.”

He won MLS — “rigged and scripted.”

He won the World Cup — “rigged and scripted.”

He won the Copa América — “they organize it every year just so he can win.”

He won 8 Ballon d’Ors — “robbed.”

He won 6 European Golden Boots — “irrelevant.”

He has the most assists in football history — “assists don’t matter.”

He dribbles past opponents — “they don’t tackle him properly.”

He scores free kicks — “they’re too close, and the goalkeepers just let them in.”

Other big national teams failed to beat small teams so could play against his team — “It’s his fault and FIFA’s.”

He’s humble — “it’s all an act.”

No matter what Lionel Messi achieves, the goalposts keep moving. Meanwhile he is just there chilling and enjoying his football. 😂

At what point do you simply accept that you’re witnessing the greatest footballer the game has ever seen?

Aren’t you all tired?
