I strongly believe Messi playing this World Cup was a God's plan
He could've retired after 2022 and his image would've been one of the humble person with the greatest comeback stories in football
But now everyone sees who he is. How he has been helped his entire career and how he has always been Fifa's princess
@MMxosa51622@hlovo_ I personally don’t think being a starter is enough on its own, especially for a ballon d’or.
Being a stand out performer is what seals the deal in my opinion.
During his era in La Liga, Messi was dominating the league.
The stats are there.
We can’t say you dominated the league when you only won 29% of the leagues titles you competed for, and 33% of the top scorer awards you competed for.
I won’t even mention assists.
🥇 2015 - De La Fuente wins u19 European Championship with Spain
🥇 2019 - De La Fuente wins u21 European Championship with Spain
🥇 2023 - De La Fuente wins Nations League with Spain
🥇 2024 - De La Fuente wins EURO 2024 with Spain
🥇 2026 - De La Fuente wins 2026 World Cup with Spain
This is incredible. Since becoming the manager of Spain in 2022, De La Fuente has only lost two matches. 🤯👏
@KabeloMusic Diya boya Kabelo, this Spanish side shut out France completely. What they did to Argentina was not supposed to come as a surprise.
Although, I personally thought Argentina would win comfortably 🤡.
The same version that was obliterated in the 2009 UCL final by Messi?
Unless if you are saying, by the time he met Messi 5 months after 2008, he was already worse than his 2008 version.
Is that what you are saying Ogini Solomon?
